Then, just like you did, let the cigar sit for a bit to cool down so you don't get any harsh flavor.

This is the exact same as puffing strongly on the cigar to get it to burn evenly, except when exhaling you aren't forced to taste all the harsh flavors as the cigar starts to burn hot.
Thanks for the feedback! It seemed to work well, but I didn't know if I just got lucky or if this was something that a lot of folks did. I've found a new trick!
