I shouldn't have added amonia to the things listed that are removed in a purge, I don't know that for sure. I do know that there are times a cigar can get bitter, if it happens, it is usually after the half-way point. If it happens, a purge can often be beneficial.

I have never heard of purging a cigar immediately upon lighting it.

Neither had I. My thoughts though, all that blue flame was proof that the ammonia was there. And my tastebuds don't lie
