how do u light a cigar with a torch lighter?
i have been holding the flame about an inch from the cigar and just dashing it around the foot until it ashes and lights but my cigar (montecristo tubos) keeps tasting like peanut butter? is there a simpler way to light it?
i am using my torch lighter as it uses butane and doesn't impart freaky tastes to the cigar and its the only method i wanna use right now
thanks guys
im 18 and want to be a cigar afficianado

LIGHTING YOUR CIGAR
Believe it or not, this is not as simple as it seems. Lighting cigars is not like lighting a cigarette or candle -- it takes patience to achieve the perfect light. Lighting a cigar can best be likened to roasting marshmallows over a campfire: keep the cigar just above the flame, being careful not to let the two touch. Lighting the cigar directly in the flame will carbonize the tobacco, harming the flavor. Also, as with a marshmallow, it's a good idea to rotate the cigar to ensure that all sides are heated evenly. Most importantly, take your time. Be patient and allow the flame to create a glowing ring around the circumference of the cigar. Once the cigar is lit, gently blow on the embers to create a smooth, rounded ash.
Now you're ready to take your first puff. But how do you do it? Many cigar smokers blow the first puff outward through the cigar, to rid the cigar of any sulfuric or gaseous flavors that may have been created by the match or lighter. But never, ever give a cigar more than one outward puff.
