Re: Off-gassing
I'm officially sold on the purge. At first (months ago) I didn't think it helped, but I didn't know that it required several seconds of blowing either. I've had several cigars since this thread was started and a long purge has improved every one of them. I also think that lighting it is beneficial in that it gives you a visual indicator of when it's completely exhausted.
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that a lengthy blow on a long stick could result in so much tastiness! |

...Most people don't like the taste! but then again, most people aren't fortunate enough to be picky and only blow the long ones.

Just tried lighting the purge (typed "this" but felt the need to clarify) and didn't feel immature at all.

Re: Off-gassing
Had to check...ammonia in non-flammable under normal conditions, without a catalyst.
I purge cigars without lighting the gasses whenever I think it will help the flavor, usually towards the end of smoking it. It normally only lasts a few puffs before it needs it again. There was a thread here about purging right after lighting to remove the flame gasses, but that didn't require lighting the gasses. If they are out of the cigar then I won't waste lighter fuel on them. |

Re: Off-gassing
I tried it today while smoking a ROTT RP Edge. I was surprised at how much the taste changed after purging. Definitely smoothed it out. I haven't had time to let the majority of my smokes age so I guess purging is a good alternative until some age awhile.
