+1. This is where I start. If that doesn't work, I'll grab the jetlite to touch it up.

One thing I've noticed: if I don't properly toast/light the cigar the way I like to, I almost always get an uneven burn. I don't smoke in my house, but I stand in the kitchen when I light the cigar to eliminate any outside breeze/wind that could affect the flame. I watched some youtube video on a "three match method" or something like that. I apply the general concept of that, but just use a soft flame Bic instead of buying special matches.

All other conditions being equal, I find that the best chance of my cigar burning properly is lighting it properly.
