Off-gassing

Hey, thanks for reviving my old-ass thread! Glad it's still helping people

I used to flame purge quite a bit, but blowing your moist breath through a cigar, even though it can eliminate those chemical flavors, can make the cigar burn and draw poorly IMO.

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

Maybe one of those barrel coolers might work.

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.

I purge like this too. Especially when I have had to puff a cigar back to burning well. It cools it back off inside while keeping the end burning. The next puff is usually great. I never put a flame to it.
