Off-gassing

I did this tonight with a little ACID wafe (It's all I had available)....that tiny little thing made a fire ball for 8-10 seconds. I was quite suprised as I expected maybe 1 or 2 seconds at the most.

Yea I've purged in the past, but only for like 2 seconds and I never thought it helped. I guess this is why

I know! who comments on a thread 10 years old but i was gonna do my own thread about this subject until i found it here. I just did this for the first time and was impressed with the results. Now, does every cigar need this? No. but it helped the cigar i'm smoking kill that ammonia taste and it'll be a tool i use going forwards now. Anyways, I was just excited by the results today. God bless you all!

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.
