Light it with your thumbnail and rotate it into the cup of your hand in a driving rain storm to light your roll your own that I can't remember the nickname for.
Yes, I had an uncle used to do that. The thumbnail strike or else a quick swipe on the leg of his blue jeans and the old Eddy wooden match would light up.
