Purging - Questions

[davidruddell]

This maybe a relative noob question but.....

Read about purging in another thread, tried it today with a Famous Smokes Nicaraguan 3000 Robusto.

I got a bundle of these recently and they're lovely smokes, but smoked prior to a evening meal have always given me 'cigarhead' lasting for 2-3 hrs. (slight nausea, fuggy head, like a V mild hangover without the headache)

Purged three times during the smoke and WOW, on the second and the third purge got a big blue flame out of the stick, would look V impressive in the dark.

Also I've had absolutely zero 'cigarhead' since I smoked it!

2 Questions come to mind....

Blue flame WTF is that?

Why no sickness, Nicotine build up, being cleared out by the purge?

It's a big smoke (this one lasted 1hr 40+, and I usually get little, if any 'cigarhead' from other smokes even chunky Partagas and Montes.

Why
Quality of the filler? (although it's a very pleasant med to full smoke)
Nicaraguan? (Never get this from Nubs)

P.S Can I trademark 'cigarhead'

You need to stop 'huffing' the butane between puffs!

Blue flame is hotter than a yellow flame but I doubt your cigar can produce a blue flame so it must have been something funky with your lighter.

HUMMMMMMMMMMMMM could be tar that was giving the lite headiness . Blue flame foreign matter in the cigar. Like U I've had a boat load of Nic 3000s and they are very full body full flavor stogies. i can see how U catch a buzzzzzzz .

But it up's the buzz man!

I was in Amsterdam in a bar playing pool (not very well) about 10 years ago, when a British fellow playing on an adjoining table started chatting to us, in between go's he was sniffing from a container, which I presumed was a 'coke snifter' type thing. It was in fact a small 'bic' lighter!

Classy!

I dont think ive ever tried one of these but next time you aim for a blue flame, turn out the lights and take a pic.. would be good to see that effect.. Maybe it was your fuzzy head exploding lmao

Glad purging worked for you. It's something that after I read about it on here, I just do naturally when things don't seem quite right.
I'd love to see a video of this blue flame too!

Ahh, you gotta love the 'Dam'.

I remember being in the 'Rokerij' (Eastern 'Mystic' type bar) one time, when a bearded hippie sort (you know the type, long flowing white robes, Gandalf look-a-like) wandered in and proceeded to roll the biggest 'Camberwell Carrot' I'd ever seen (more skins than a Canadian fur-trapper).
The entire bar went quiet watching him.

He lit it, smiled at everyone, and did the whole thing in just two draws. I swear he must have had the lungs of a blue whale.
Anyhow, you could've heard a pin drop as he turned to smile at us all again and exit the bar - sideways before passing out on the kerb.

Oh how we laughed!

Ah, Amsterdam stories, we could start a whole thread with that!

I could always start with how one of my best pals (Now a serving police officer in Arkansas) gained the moniker 'Chicken Boy' via the shouted threats of an angry prostitute whose services he'd just used.

But I digress.......................

A capital idea! Not sure it'd be suitable for some of the more.. 'sensitive souls' on here though.

Please do. You can't leave us hanging.
