How to light cigars

This can be tricky for a newbie, but our tips will get you through it:

It's best to light a cigar yourself - lighting a cigar takes longer than lighting a cigarette, and it's best not to feel rushed by having a friend reach over with a lit match.
Matches or butane lighters are fine, but if you use a match, make sure the sulfur is burned out first so it doesn't impair the taste of the cigar.
Never use a candle - the wax particles will enter the cigar and taint its flavor.
Hold the cigar in your hand, not your mouth, and rotate it near the flame.
Do not actually touch the flame with your cigar.
When the entire surface is charred and embers appear, place the cigar between your lips.
Gently puff to blow out any foreign particles or odors that may have come from the lighter or match. Check to see that the cigar is lit evenly.
This probably goes without saying, but just in case you happen to have a pompadour with a lot of hairspray: remember to not set your hair on fire.
