Alex,
What is the rh of your humi? Rh is all in preference but I've had better luck with 64-68% rh than 70+. Often times B&M's will have their rh set at 70+. As far as the match thing goes I prefer a torch. I find it is easier to control than a match. Try using a torch and toasting the foot until it is a little bit red, blowing on it, and repeating until the entire foot is cherried evenly. This usually starts the cigar out with a more consistent burn.
