I will usually light that way when they are wrapped in cedar, and i certainly like the notion that it is a "Romantic" lighting method.

Really, really drunk.

No, it wasn't dark.
No, he wasn't drunk.....Yet!
Yes, it was funny as hell.

Just make sure if you are lighting a cigar with cedar roll from tubo or cedros not to hold it at an angle where the high point is where you hand is. The flame has to be the high point if you are holding a cylinder. The cylinder will heat up real fast and you could end up dropping a flaming cedar strip and/or burn your hand.
I love using the cedar when I remember. It's a little razzle-dazzle at herfs for those unfamiliar.

i didnt have much trouble getting an even light, i think you just have to take your time with it, just like if you were lighting with matches.
also for me I toasted the foot till it was lit, I did not draw from the cigar until i had a perfect ember. hell i left the cigar cap on until it was lit. haha yes, I had too much time on my hands

I believe the Davidoff matches are made from cedar. If you could find some (or equivalent) that might be a better idea. My BIL lights up his cigars with cedar almost exclusively. He has gotten quite good at it.

I use cedar now and then, I enjoy the smell of it burning but really doesn't boost the enjoyment of the cigar...besides I get dogged by MAC, VOLT, and Barry for using it and I like the attn....NOT

Not all of them do. But the older ones were made of cedar. There might be some other company out there now too.

Your right about the Davidoff matches. But they do smell great when they burn!

Just like a lot of the stuff we do revolving around cigars, it's ritualistic, enjoy it when you can!

Make a little campfire with the cedar in your ash tray and then light it with your torch after you light your cigar.

Cedar is a different animal.... Spanish cedar is part of the mahogany family.... be cautious with this....

Are the grilling sheets the same type of cedar? Aren't the strips and sheets that would be included with the cigars Spanish cedar, which is vastly different from the aromatic cedar that you would grill with???
