The best way to properly light a cigar is to use a butane gas powered torch lighter. Many people instead think that the heat from a torch lighter is too intense for cigars, but this is not the case. This is because many people who know how to use a torch lighter are unable to properly light a cigar using this tool. Among the disposable lighters the 'D-jeep' is probably the best for this purpose. It is equipped with a flame intensity regulator and the flame produced is very stable, without flickering or bad odors, as happens with other cheap lighters that use a low quality gas. Butane gas is readily available, and burns very well with hardly any odor.
Steps
Step 1. Use only wooden matches or butane gas fired lighters
Using any other ignition method (paper matches or other model lighters) initially you won't be able to taste much. After the first few puffs this negative effect should pass.
Step 2. Hold the cigar between your fingers as you bring the tip angled 45 ° into the flame (if you are not using wooden matches or a butane lighter, keep the cigar away from the flame) as you inhale in small puffs, until the tip will not be a nice uniform red color
You can gently blow on the tip of the cigar to make sure it is lit evenly.
Step 3. Enjoy your cigar
Remember that cigar smoking is an activity that should be done for fun and not for nicotine, although sometimes you may experience a temporary feeling of dizziness.
Advice
- If you want to use matches to light your cigar, wait for the initial flame to dissipate to prevent the cigar from acquiring an unpleasant sulfur taste.
- Don't breathe in cigar smoke like you do with cigarettes, otherwise it could most likely cause you to gag.
