I have no idea if this is what you should do though. It seems that I have better luck getting the second half going when I remove the ash though. It's as if it's so thick I can't reach the tobacco below it with a flame unless I remove it.
I do the same thing. not saying its right, not saying its wrong, just saying it works for me so its what I do. :-)
