The process of igniting a specific type of hand-rolled cigar, often containing cannabis, is a crucial initial step. Proper execution ensures an even burn and consistent inhalation, maximizing the user’s intended experience. An example includes using a lighter or hemp wick to carefully char the end, then rotating the cigar while gently drawing to establish a cherry.
Achieving an optimal and consistent burn is paramount for a smoother experience. Even lighting prevents uneven consumption, minimizing the need for relighting and potential wastage. Historically, various methods have been employed, from matches to specialized torches, reflecting evolving cultural practices and technological advancements.
