How do you light a cigarette?

Answer 1

If lighting your own cigarette:

1) hold filter of cigarette in mouth

2) hold lighter in hand A (left or right, arbitrarily)

3) if there is a breeze, you may need to hold up hand B as a partial wind break while lighting the cigarette

4) light end of cigarette with lighter while gently inhaling, pulling air into the cigarette to enhance combustion of the tobacco and paper...so that the cigarette can stay lit

5) remove lighter from cigarette, as well as hand B, and continue smoking

Or put another way:

You would put the cigarette in your mouth, light your lighter or strike a match, hold the flame to the end of the cigarette, and inhale until it is lit. Then you put out the flame you used to light it.

Answer 2

The proper way to light a cigar is "slowly". Light a mach or lighter and keep it about 1/2" away and roll the cigar around the flame to toast the foot (end). once you have done that you may draw slowly on the end. remember, do not touch the flame directly on the cigar. enjoy

Answer 3

A cigar punch is used to make a small opening from which the cigar can be smoked. Start by placing the sharp end of the punch on the closed end of the cigar and add pressure while rotating it slowly to make the incision.
