You use a cigar cutter to cut the cap of the cigar, then use the flame and lite the foot. puff while lighting, so you get it going. Puff every 20 seconds or so. If it gets off, lay off, if it gets thin, puff on.

When cutting the cap, if you look closely, you'll notice it looks like there might be two or three thins pieces of tobacco on top, cut as close as you can to the cap, without cutting below it. This will help it from unwrapping.

Any more ?'s
