Re: Off-gassing
I had no idea to even do this....definitely going to try it next time I light one up!

Re: Off-gassing
I'm officially sold on the purge. At first (months ago) I didn't think it helped, but I didn't know that it required several seconds of blowing either. I've had several cigars since this thread was started and a long purge has improved every one of them. I also think that lighting it is beneficial in that it gives you a visual indicator of when it's completely exhausted.
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that a lengthy blow on a long stick could result in so much tastiness! |

...Most people don't like the taste! but then again, most people aren't fortunate enough to be picky and only blow the long ones. |

Just tried lighting the purge (typed "this" but felt the need to clarify) and didn't feel immature at all. |
Re: Off-gassing
Had to check...ammonia in non-flammable under normal conditions, without a catalyst.
I purge cigars without lighting the gasses whenever I think it will help the flavor, usually towards the end of smoking it. It normally only lasts a few puffs before it needs it again. There was a thread here about purging right after lighting to remove the flame gasses, but that didn't require lighting the gasses. If they are out of the cigar then I won't waste lighter fuel on them. |
Re: Off-gassing
I am going to try the purge i had the bitterness. And to all the "mature" smokers that have been sure to state as such. I have to smoke fast at work so lay off and just dont post

Re: Off-gassing
I try too. Hope I don't mess up cigar

Re: Off-gassing
I tried it today while smoking a ROTT RP Edge. I was surprised at how much the taste changed after purging. Definitely smoothed it out. I haven't had time to let the majority of my smokes age so I guess purging is a good alternative until some age awhile.
