First cut it. There is a little ridge towards the "top" or "head" of the cigar. Looks like a cap. Cut it just above that line, the cigar is actually rolled so that this part comes away easier. If you mess up, pretend you meant to do it where ever you did and just enjoy.
There are ton of tricks and supposedly a proper way to do it. However a friend who owns a cigar shop once told me, "just light the damn thing". Some popular techniques are to use a piece of lit cedar or a torch lighter. The reason why regular BiC lighters are not recommended is because they do not use a clean burning fuel source.
After that just puff on the cigar at a METERED pace (too fast and you get sick, too slow and it dies out), relight as needed. Enjoy, take a selfie, and drink some fine alcoholic beverage to accompany it.
