In the case of the cigar holder wouldn't the tar still be there at the cap? I find that I am enjoying a smoke and then realize that all I am tasting is tar, I give a clip and the tar flavor disappears and I can taste the cigar again. It's as if drawing through the tar is ruining the flavors.

Yes, however the tar would not come in contact with your mouth/lips/tongue. I've found these to be helpful as I encounter the problem all too often!
