Purging is the act of blowing on the cigar in order to expunge any foul or stale smoke from it. Many times when a cigar starts to get bitter, if you purge it, you'll be pleasantly surprised as how it turns right back around and gets good. I don't usually go as far as putting a lighter up to it as some people suggest while purging.
Not sure about snorking. Using your nose when smoking a cigar helps you more easily identify taste and flavor.
Dry boxing is just as it sounds. Any botls here correct me if I'm wrong, but it's resting a cigar in a dry humidor for a day prior to smoking it. It very slowly brings down the humidity and makes the stick smoke better. In many cases where you've seen a cigar expanded quickly and pop the wrapper off, this is usually due to it being too humified. I've heard dry boxing can also alleviate the changes of the cigar being as plugged if it was rolled too tightly. For the record, I don't even dry box my cigars but I also keep them right at 65% humidity and don't have problems too often.

What is 'snorking'? I think it's exhaling from your nose. How do you do it and why would you do it?
