The Skillful Lightning of Cigar - written by Asad Ali

Lighting A Cigar

How you light a cigar is one of the most simple tasks, butplays an important role in enhancing the overall cigar smoking experience. It requires a little time and patience to do it properly. The bigger the ring gauge the longer it will take to get lit. It is very important to make sure that the entire "foot" of the cigar is lit so that your cigar doesn't burn unevenly.

Don't light your cigar with a Zippo type lighter because the odor of the gas could ruin the essence of your cigar. The finest way to light it is either with a wooden match or a piece of cedar. Make it sure that you let the sulfur burn off before presenting the flame onto your cigar. Other option is to use butane lighter.

Always make sure that you get the foot end of your cigar evenly lit. Some people use a mirror to see the burning edge of the cigar to make sure that they had lit the cigar evenly. Feel free in rotating the cigar in your hand while lighting it. This will help you avoid an uneven burn.

It's very common for a cigar to go out while you're smoking it. Don't let that bother you, just light it back up. It will be very convenient for you to get it lit second time around - you shouldn't even have to place the cigar in your mouth. Just remove the ash from the end and heat it up with a flame.

Just a precaution here, the longer your cigar has been extinguished; the greater will be the chance of tainting the natural taste of your cigar. It should be fine for an hour or two... but I don't recommend relighting a cigar the next day.
