La Méthode de Jacques Puisais
Some years ago there was an article at a German board (it reappeared some days ago) which described a method of lighting up a cigar (which was published before in the "Havanoscope" in '99):
La Méthode de Jacques Puisais
It describes that Mr. J. Puisais, director of the french institute for taste, thinks that due to the heat of the flame and the difference of temperature between foot and head of the cigar while lighting up a cutted cigar there will be a suction caused by the stack effect and the accruing fumes will be partly sucked into the cigar. In his opinion this will influence the taste of the cigar strongly negative. His recommendation is to cut the cigar AFTER lighting up and to blow through the cigar before you take the first draw, to remove all "impurities" from it.
What do you think about it? Do you have any experience with this method?
