double perfecto?

double perfecto?

Yeah. Rounded on the head, torpedo on the foot.

I know the plug didn't help, but my question was more about lighting a perfecto. Do you just light the entire "nipple" of the foot, then start trying to draw through it as it burns, or do you light the foot and then expect to wait a bit?

The plug was your problem!
A double perfecto lights & burns like any other cigar.
No draw, plug = bad experience!

Just light it and start drawing. It will be tight at first but will open up once the burn reaches the wider part of the cigar.

I've only ever lit the very tip. They've just spread evenly for me. Easiest vitola ever for lighting for me. Sorry you had a crap experience.
