Re: Off-gassing
I'm surprised how many people havent heard of this...
I wonder if the people that havent heard of this are fairly new to cigars. I've been enjoying them for about 5 years and I just thought this was a "known"... I almost always purge, but flame purge at night cuz it looks cool. Once I singed my eyebrows, so be careful when purging a full bodied stick when its in the last 3rd! |

Re: Off-gassing
The things you learn here...
After watching the David "Doc Stogie" Diaz tutorial on YouTube, I learned very quickly how to do both this technique and retrohaling, both of which have greatly improved my cigar smoking experience. I love the interwebs. |

Also would not think purging would cool the torch-lit end of a cigar, as one member posted. You are forcefully adding air to embers; it will only help combustion and heat up more. Try it on a larger scale by using a leaf blower to help you get a brush fire going, if you're not having much luck; it WILL fan those embers into flame. |

Re: 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.

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

Re: Off-gassing
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!

Re: Off-gassing
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.

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.

Re: Off-gassing
Purging has always improved my smokes. I don't know if it affects the burn or not, but if so, touch-ups are a small price to pay.
