One more thing I can say about purging (blowing all the smoke out of my cigar often) is that it helps keep the cigar cool. The cooler I keep the cigar, the better it tastes.
When I smoke real fast, it just seems to ruin a cigar for me. It's taken a long time to slow down and learn to let the cigar tell me how to smoke it.
When I purge often, like when I set my cigar down, I usually get to smoke the whole cigar without it going south in the last 1/3rd.
I think it helps avoid the buildup of burned up squank that makes the last third taste like the skids in Mean D's skivvies.
