3-4 ..normally i start purging when it comes to half the stick...

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

I will only purge a stick if it tastes horrible. Even then it's only to see how long I can keep a huge flame flying from the foot. Then i toss it.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Depends on the cigar. Sometimes never, sometimes lots.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Whenever I find the taste getting 'meh'. 4-5 times maybe.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

IMO cigars are for smoking not blowing so I picked never... I may purge once every 20 cigars if there is a problem...

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Usually never and I feel that in the event that a cigar needs to be purged more than once or twice, it probably isn't worth smoking.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

I only purge if i have to. It totally depends on the cigar...sometimes once, sometimes never, sometimes 3 or 4 times.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

:tpd: I think it can become a habit and, for the most part, not needed. It was that way for me for a while until I realized what I was doing. The only time I do it anymore is when the cigar goes completely out.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Same here and if the build up gets bad enough, I just clip it again.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Purging isn't necessary for me the great majority of the time.If I feel like a cigar needs purging,chances are it is nearly time to put it out. I smoke slowly,this helps my smokes stay pleasant and prevents them from getting bitter.

Can it hurt to purge? I have gotton so I do it a few times on most cigars thinking, how can it hurt?

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

:tpd: or usually after I ash.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Agree with Tom.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

I'm working on perfecting the nose exhale, maybe I'll work on the purge next.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

I've pretty much stopped purging. Still do on occasion but I've gotten to the point where if she starts to get bitter on me I just toss her. I'm usually 'bout done at that point anyway.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Only when necessary. Some smokes none. Some smokes several times.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Nah can't hurt at all, I reckon. I just saw it becoming a habit with me when it was not actually needed.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

Extremely rarely, close to never. The only times I actually even remember purging are when the cigar goes out while I'm eating or going to the bathroom so I can start smoking it again.

Re: How often do you purge (say a robusto)?
 

At least 2x a smoke, because if it's a great smoke I get a bit overzealous.
