Note that in the BAM specification, the field called cigar typically stores the cigar string of the record. However, this is not always true, sometimes the true cigar is very long, and due to some constraints of the BAM format, the actual cigar string is stored in an extra tag: CG:B,I, and the cigar field stores a pseudo-cigar string.

Calling this method with checkCG set to true (default) this method will always yield the true cigar string, because this is probably what you want the vast majority of the time.

If you have a record that stores the true cigar in a CG:B,I tag, but you still want to access the pseudo-cigar that is stored in the cigar field of the BAM record, then you can set checkCG to false.
