Herf smokes?

Mugen910 · 10-24-2008, 12:09 PM

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.

Looks like I agree with everyone above. It's more about the thought than the actual stick. I've found a few "snobs" over the years that made snide remarks twords another mans choice of smoke, and it just got me to wondering how common it was.

For instance I enjoy a 5 vegas classic every now and then. I was herfing with a few guys at a party and just after handing one to a guy he takes it and says with a sneer "what, you been shoping at Thomp***s" and then proceeds to pull out a tatuaje and fire that up instead.

How much of an insult can you get to be acused of shopping at the dreaded T-word?

Now I've always taken an offered cigar as great show of generosity, but I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round.

Even the cigar world I guess.

I've given away expensive cigars, I've tried to give away a Free Cuba.

I just simply give what I think another person may want to try. Same as with bombing. I don't think price even enters my head when handing out sticks.

And if someone makes a comment about what I'm smoking, why would I care. I smoke what makes me happy. If they can't understand that they are no BOTL to me. Sure, I may get **** from my friends about the Gurkha I may be smoking at the time, but I know they're doing it with love.

I try to bring stuff that the other guys may not have had before such as CC's or Opus when my supply is high.
