    Puffing after ashing is what I do to. Even if just a half a puff, keeps things moving along. I think getting a great light from the beginning helps most of all.

    I've been getting the best results with my eagle torch single flame. It allows for a precision lighting all around the foot face without over scorching beyond the face (black singe and soot on the first 1/2 inch of wrapper is indicative of over scorch). It's sometimes unavoidable if you are lighting in the wind or while driving. It also a much bigger problem with larger lighters and quad flames.

    A great start, quick puff after ashing, and not over puffing and heating up the cigar, makes for a perfect burn.

    C'mon, Frank. I thought you would wade in on how the ash keeps the cherry hotter because it's holding in the heat.

    I thought that was a pretty elementary concept, @peter4jc 😁

    I noticed that when I ash frequently, I get a nice round cherry at the top of my cigar. But when I let the ash hang on for three or four inches, when I tap it off, my cherry looks like the top of a witch's hat, and I don't feel like I'm smoking any faster.

    It's a lighter AND a shake weight.
