Purging "enhancement"

Sure it changes the cigar, back to the way it was before it got all nasty and bitter. That's why we purge, if needed.

For me, it's lighting up the room until it's completely purged and won't light up anymore. Let it rest a minute or two and continue smoking.

Flameless purger here. Flame during the purge would make no difference in the taste compared to a purge w/ a flame.
Plus I like to keep my eyebrows

I just like fire. Fire is so ........ mesmerizing.

I think I'm having a flashback.

So you don't use the actual flame as anything but entertainment and as a timing/volume indicator that the cigar is fully purged of gasses that will produce the flame.
I am not arguing the fact that purging changes a cigar, just wondering how many think the flame actually has an effect rather than act as an indicator.
