I also could care less if I have a blue flame coming off the end of my cigar. Having said that, I have had cigars with a good inch to 2 inches left which had gotten bitter and I was contemplating pitching them. A quick purge, and they were back in the zone - sometimes even their best flavor of the whole smoke. Of course, I have also purged a cigar, taken a couple more puffs, then pitched it. Sometimes, there are just some bad smokes.

Re: Off-gassing
No doubt Todd purging a cigar will bring it back to life and smooth it out. I did it way more often in my early years of smoking cigars, then it seems once you really establish a good technique for smoking, the harshness doesn't happen as often and even when it does, it doesn't seem to bother me that much. Rarely do I ever purge these days, but it sure does clean out that stick and make it new again.

Re: Off-gassing
Awesome, I just learned my new thing of the day. I knew there was a reason I was spending so much time around here.
I apologize up front if my immaturity is offensive to anyone, but |

Re: Off-gassing
Parlour trick or not, I'm trying it. Not necessarily the lighting part but if I can purge to help the taste then why not?

Re: Off-gassing
This is a known technique.
You can also do it without the flame for improved smoke whenever your stick doesn't taste just right.

Re: Off-gassing
I have been purging after lighting for a long time just to expel some of the heat from lighting with the torch. I believe that purging to often adds moisture to the cigar also throwing the taste off.

Re: Off-gassing
I'll purge a cigar for about 10 seconds or so every time I knock the ash off. Works for me and I haven't noticed any benefit of using a flame, I think that's just theatrics.

He finds you to be regularly rude, Peter- and constantly unattractive.
