A cool gadget that could blow air through a cigar without dampening the tobacco would be awesome.

You know, I have never had that happen that the moisture inherent in blowing out (mouth or otherwise) changed precipitously the burn or draw.

And by the way, when I "purge" (with our without a flame), it is a good 15 - 30 seconds.

Flavor changes can be INCREDIBLE...

If a cigar gets bitter, I purge.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
