I toast it at a distance and then get the entire foot to glow even, blowing on the foot helps. Then I softly draw and recheck the foot for even glow and burn.

There are several ways to lite a cigar, glad you found one that works!

That's exactly what I do. It takes a little longer, but you don't get those first couple harsh puffs that scorch your palate right off the bat. People always look at me weird while I take my time getting the tip how I want it while they light and get puffing within seconds, but I always do it my way.
