Herf smokes?

Lucky_Hippo · 10-24-2008, 12:50 PM

I was wondering what the consensus was on Herf smokes. Do you guys only hand out your very best and most expensive sticks to other BOTL's knowing they will probably enjoy them, or do you purchase special "give away" sticks to pass out as more of a friendly gesture? Not bottom of the barrel yard-gars, but more of an everyday kind of stick.

In other words, if you know a herf is coming up, what do you stock up on?

Davidoff or Padron.

You give what you enjoy. It's the thought that counts most, not the cigar.

Done it all. Sometimes I will bring different smokes for each person, knowing their tastes and preferences.

If there are newbies coming(I love fresh meat!) I bring at least a fiver each. Also, been known to bring coolers or other newbie items to shove them down the slope!

High end or low end doesnt matter. Its the spirit of giving that is most important. I have given out CFO #7's(50cents each) and harder to find stuff(Camacho FaceOff, CC's) In either case they are given with love and accepted graciously.

It works both ways as well. If someone has chosen to gift me a smoke, it doesnt matter if its an RP or a 1492. Both will be accepted with deep appreciation and genuine thanks.

For Saturday's herf at Ratter's place, I will bring everything from tasty Cuban's

to Cremosas

I love herfing!

Both...I bring some I want to get rid off and also bring some stuff I think they would enjoy. If you start bringing price into things it kind of defeats the purpose of sharing. Don't get me wrong. I fully understand that $ doesn't grow on trees but keep in mind how special you'd feel if someone shared, lets say a 1980's Davidoff.

Give cigars you feel comfortable handing out. If you enjoy them, others might as well. You don't have to break your bank gifting out. As it was said before, it's the thought that counts.

I give what I like to smoke, sometimes better than I smoke!

I try to bring cigars I think the other guys will enjoy. After you have herfed with the same crew a few times, you get to know what they like and what they already have, so I try to giver them stuff they may not have and that I think they will enjoy. In the end, it is the thought that counts and anything you hand out is great.
