I voted puff, but actually, I go both ways :-):-)

Depends on what I'm using to light it. Match or soft flame yes. Torch no.

Tried the Puisias method with a Boli PC last night. Amazed at how nice the stick was from the start. I did use a Ronson jetlite to light it though, instead of a soft flame. It took maybe 30 seconds to get lit properly. This may be my new method of lighting from here on out. The cigar didn't need time to "settle in" to start realizing the flavors.

+1. This is what I always have done. Im going to try just a soft flame no puff light tonight though see which i like better.

Ive Tried it Both Ways.. If you have a Match or Bic Lighter.. You gotta Puff.. If you have a Torch Lighter.. No Puff Required.. But I have not noticed any "Significate" Taste/flavor changes when doing either.

However If you Puff while using a Torch Lighter it seems to have an initial Warm Peppery Taste to just about any cigar.

I'm not sure if you can fully light a cigar with a soft flame and "no puff". A soft flame from a bic or other lighter will just burn, crack and turn black the foot and surrounding area.
A no puff light would need some sort of torch or at least a Ronson Jet to fully toast & light without a draw. :-)

I certainly do not have the patience for this, but check out this video: http://bcove.me/7ifuzkal


(It seems like the address links only on occasion to the address that I meant...strange... Click on the video "Three Matches." That is the one I meant.)

I barely had the patience to make it through the video! :-) :-)

No kidding, I really don't think that is necessary. Wouldn't a soft flame lighter do the same job without having to use 3 matches? 3-4 minutes to light a cigar....I suppose if I was smoking a cigar I would never get to smoke again I might consider spending about half that amount of time with a soft flame lighter, but most of my cigars get the 20-30 second torch from a butane lighter after I clip the cap.

:-) Same here.

I watched a movie about the Fuente's and watched the old man firing up a stick with a big old ball of flames going on at the end of the cigar. For all the methodology I've heard, and all the overthinking and nuance, that single vision pretty much sealed it up for me.
I do sometimes toast the foot a little before I go wild, but I've pretty much dispensed with all the other playing around.

Myself, it depends what I am lighting the stick with. If it is a torch I toast, if its a match or a traditional flame lighter I puff. To me it kinda seems like some times puffing it while you light it makes for an uneven burn. Not all the time but it seems to happen more often than with a toasting. :-) The way I feel though is if your enjoying what your smoking there is no wrong way to spark it.

Like others here, no puff with the torch. Only puff with wooden matches, but rarely do I ever use matches.
[Reply]

Sometimes I just toast with a cedar strip , match or torch lighter . Other times I take a couple draws when I'm feeling impatient . I refuse to Puff anymore ! :-)
[Reply]

:-):-) well said
[Reply]

No Puff for me I toast the foot. I use to puff, but from what ive seen when you puff it seems to make the light more uneven and you get runaways off the bat. or Maybe im just OCD like no other. who knows.
