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

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.

Depends on the cigar. Sometimes never, sometimes lots.

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

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

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

:-) 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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