Another newbie with a newbie question

[Crawdad]

Hi guys. I love your pad here. I've been hanging out in other cigar forums and just found yours yesterday. Very cool.

Now for a question. I know that 'purging' a cigar makes it taste better, but I don't understand 'why'... Can somebody explain why sticking a flame to the foot and blowing makes the last half of the cigar ten times more enjoyable?

Thanks in advance.
