True story or legend about metal forging /blacksmithing

Hello,

Somebody told me the story that a hungarian blacksmith is forging a piece of metal until it starts to heat up that in on moment he lights his cigar with it ? He does it on public artisan markets to show his skills.
I was discussing the issue with some friends and the were laughing, saying that it is impossible.
I still believe in that story (but I´m the only one) and would like to know what you think or if somebody has tried it ?
I don´t have any idea about the size of the metal.

Greetings from Buenos Aires

René
