I light my closed foot Viaje just like a regular cigar. I don't know why but I really like a closed foot or a shaggy foot. The toasting takes a little extra but not much. Remember this is all tobacco leaf whether it is open or closed. Nothing but tobacco leaf so it will burn. Just toast it and go. May need a little touch up at the start but usually I have no issues with a really good toasting.
This is a timely thread; the postman brought me a box containing (amongst other goodies) some Nicaraguan 90+ 2nds, and the Perfectos have the little foot. Never having smoked one of these, I thought about cutting it, but then just lit it up. Success! The fun part was watching the ash, and how it stayed in that same shape.
