This is a known technique.
You can also do it without the flame for improved smoke whenever your stick doesn't taste just right.

I shouldn't have added amonia to the things listed that are removed in a purge, I don't know that for sure. I do know that there are times a cigar can get bitter, if it happens, it is usually after the half-way point. If it happens, a purge can often be beneficial.

I have never heard of purging a cigar immediately upon lighting it.

I am a slow smoker by most standards, an AF or Punch Rothschild is an hour smoke for me.

I also could care less if I have a blue flame coming off the end of my cigar.

Having said that, I have had cigars with a good inch to 2 inches left which had gotten bitter and I was contemplating pitching them. A quick purge, and they were back in the zone - sometimes even their best flavor of the whole smoke.

Of course, I have also purged a cigar, taken a couple more puffs, then pitched it. Sometimes, there are just some bad smokes.

I have been purging after lighting for a long time just to expel some of the heat from lighting with the torch. I believe that purging to often adds moisture to the cigar also throwing the taste off.

I'll purge a cigar for about 10 seconds or so every time I knock the ash off. Works for me and I haven't noticed any benefit of using a flame, I think that's just theatrics.

So how do you purge? I'm really confused by all this. I've never heard of it.

I'd answer your question but you find me to be constantly rude. And nobody wants that.

As long as we're not binging and purging I guess it's all good!

Barry (bscottskangum) does this all the time. I've had success a few times using this technique.

HOLY CRAP! For once I agree with you ;)

I tend to smoke a little fast so I'll sometimes do this a couple of times withor without the flame, about halfway and the last 3rd.
I do love the looks you get when you use a flame in bumper to bumper traffic on 95 :D

Neither had I. My thoughts though, all that blue flame was proof that the ammonia was there. And my tastebuds don't lie

No doubt Todd purging a cigar will bring it back to life and smooth it out. I did it way more often in my early years of smoking cigars, then it seems once you really establish a good technique for smoking, the harshness doesn't happen as often and even when it does, it doesn't seem to bother me that much. Rarely do I ever purge these days, but it sure does clean out that stick and make it new again.
