Great video, of coarse a lot of stuff I didn't know. I mainly use a torch and didn't know that about the flame. Thanks for sharing the info.

Great video! This is why I always hate to let the guys who work at the B&M cut and light my cigar. 8 of 10 times they dip the foot right into the flame. They are a big DE shop though, so maybe some of the less familiar sales associates will see this video at some point. Ha ha.

Nice video! I would have liked to see how you light the nica rustica/closed foot cigars. I love the taste of that extra wrapper and once that wrapper catches flame, thats where I stop toasting. Its quicker for me to light a closed foot that a traditional open foot.

Never even seen a cedar spill. Where do you guys get these? Are they just the cedar sheet that is inside certain boxes?
