Of course sometimes I'm just plain lazy and light that bastard up. Sometimes I want that ritual and sometimes I just want to smoke a cigar.

I have tried it both ways--moving the lighter OR moving the cigar. I've even tried it doing both in the same cigar--first move the cigar, then move the lighter.

I can't tell a difference.

What am I doing wrong?
