I dislike re-lighting myself, and I got pretty good at keeping a bowl lit. Then I realized that I had turned it into a competition, and I wasn't always getting the best smoke. While I still enjoy a nice long uninterrupted smoke, I don't stress about having to strike another match. However, if I need to re-light more than a couple times, I give it up and start again later. For me, too much flame applied to the tobacco greatly reduces my enjoyment.
