go to the video titled Three Matches and it will show chefchris's way of lighting up.

i personally dont like to draw on the cigar with the flame at the end of it. it heats up the cigar and makes it bitter for me. i usually just toast it with a lighter or matches until the end is white then draw on it to get it going. to me it keeps the cigar cooler and better tasting.

Ya, I saw that after I posted. Phil down at the smoke stack showed that to me about a month ago. I think he read it in CA, so there ya go.

I saw that video a while ago and tried it out. I've been lighting up that way recently. But most the times I just use my torch instead of matches.

I've tried it a few times as well.... it seems to make the smoking experience better but i cant say if its from the 'purity' of that lighting technique (as they claim) or just because it makes you slow things down and really focus on enjoying your cigar; maybe a combination of both.
