I have purged cigars. I have sometimes noticed a difference when doing so. Especially if the stick has been out for a bit. Whether it purges stale smoke, some moisture, (perhaps?) or slightly rearranges the filler in microscopic measurement, I don't know of such stuff.
Something I chuckle about is when someone mentions "flaming/flameless" purges. As if using a lighter to burn the "exhaust" gasses of the purge makes a difference.
A cigar isn't a jet engine with an afterburner increasing its performance. Enlighten me, O Flamey Purgers, what is it about lighting the purge that enhances the purge?
I will give you the second kind of cool in that you find more entertainment in it for your own perverse reasons.
p.s.
"Flamey Purger" sounds like a nickname Peter would enjoy. er......
