I do purge occassionally, you learn when it is prudent and when it is not through experience. I would certainly not recommend purging a cigar for 10 seconds though, this could heat the cigar up too much and negatively affect the flavor. A quick burst is plenty when warranted.

Chris is right though, unnecessary purging is probably not the best idea.
