I think I will use the Kel Method to touch up any edges that didn't like the first time.

I've been using my double torch to toast the foot, then switching to the soft flame to light it as I puff. I tried to light it without taking any puffs, but the tobacco on the foot started to "melt" and glow orange instead of turning gray (and when I took the heat away the tobacco went out completely instead of smoldering gray).
