What works for me is, first, turn your back to the wind to shelter the flams.
Second, make sure you have a good strong double or triple torch for windy moments.
Third, keep the flame a good distance from the cigar when you light it, then move the flame to the cigar to avoid scorching. It doesn't take a lot of heat to light a cigar if you are patient so avoid the temptation to move the flame too close or you will scorch it.
Finally, it helps if you puff on it while you apply the flame to the foot.
There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
