Spontaneous Combustion.

I don't mean spontaneous combustion in the common sense.
The other day I was smoking a cigarette, I got half way through it when the 'cherry' burst into flames as though it was (normal) paper that cought on fire. So I was weirded out, and blew the flame out.
Before I went to take another drag it burst into flames again, so I just stamped it out.

Heres my question: has this ever happened to anyone, or has anyone ever seen or heard of this happening?

I just thought it was weird.

Whats evan more interesting and frightening is spontanius HUMAN combustions.

Someone was probably playing a joke on you. If you cut off a match head and push it into the end of the cigarette with the stick part of the matchstick, it will do the same thing as you described.
