Here is the humidor I have, $35 and it comes with an inscription

Cedar Humidor From RedEnvelope.com

The ritual of lighting a cigar involves two very important principals. The first involves the instruments used to light the cigar and the second the enjoyment of your Habano. To begin with always use a butane lighter or a cedar or wooden match-stick. Try to never use a petrol lighter, a candle or a wax match as all of these impart odours that the cigar is quick to absorb. The second principle to remember is that a cigar must be lit with the utmost patience and tranquillity. Nothing spoils the enjoyment of a Habano faster than a badly lit cigar.

Rotate around evenly.

I've heard rumors of some people trying to light cigars with the sun and a magnifying glass so that they would have the purest light. But I'm doubtful that's any more than a wives tale.

That just reminds me of that Acura commercial when the guys are trying to explain why they made certain luxury purchases.

I know the whole rotate while lighting, keep it directly out of the flame bit. I think as long as you can do that you're good... I don't think using magnified sun rays is going to make my experience any better. Well, maybe it will taste better because I had to wait so long to light the damn thing.

If it were true, this would be the place to do it (phoenix). A couple years ago, the local news team went and cooked eggs on one of our sidewalks.
