Do you puff when lighting cigars

No Puff.
I toast the foot until it is fully lit. Blow on the foot to make sure the entire foot is glowing. Then the first thing I do, before drawing is one little, quick purge (without the flame) just to blow out any Butane smell that might have pushed into the cigar during the lighting process (it takes a good 25 seconds or so of the torch to full light). Weather or not the small purge is necessary or not, its just something I do every time.

+1, except I don't always do the purge after I make sure the entire foot is lit.

But I'm always willing to try something new. Send Mila on over and I'll give her a tryout.
