What do you smoke at herfs? - Page 3

RevSmoke · 03-01-2010, 08:53 PM

I bring whatever it is that I want to smoke out of my humidor. So, however the mood strikes me that day is what I bring.

I will also bring some stuff to trade, or something in particular for someone I know will be there, something I know they have been wanting to try.

Also, if I have it, something special for a PPP - it may be special as in a rarity, or something special as, "it's supposedly so bad, I don't want to suffer through this alone," or maybe an extra large cigar, as I don't normally want to spend 3 hours on one stick at a herf, but passing it means I get a few puffs and it doesn't get old.

Personally though, the herf is to spend time with friends, and so my normal smokes are extra special at a herf.

Do you at least lead the herfers through the 23rd Psalm before subjecting them to that.

Cute, I like that.

We have had a couple cigars at different herfs at which we did this, "misery loves company." I forget who, but there is a regular attendee at our Northwoods WI herfs who has a candela that we have decided we will PPP so taht we can all say we tried one. If one person smokes a bad cigar, they can say they've tried one - if we PPP it, then we can all say we've tried it. It also allows for discussion about specifics as to why it is so bad.

Depends on the environment more than the size of the herf for me. My first herf last summer taught me that too much activity around me distracts me from enjoying my sticks to the fullest. I'm meeting people I've known on line for the first time. The relationships are more important to me than what I'm smoking. For me...from personal experience, lighting up something I've been looking forward to smoking is a waste. The bigger the herf, the more common the stick.

Now on the flip side of that. When I was at Vin's herf last summer, it was outdoors and it was really a relaxed environment. It was perfect smoking conditions. I would've lit anything I had been looking forward too.

With three herfs behind me now and the Nerf coming up this weekend...I'm pretty sure what I'm going to be smoking this Saturday.

Good question, MJ.
I smoke whatever. I will try to bring some odd stuff to share, whether it be puff, puff, pass or just something I want the guys to try.

And if he can't herf with you, he just bombs you with them so that you can take them to a herf and PPP them with others.

Sharing is caring! Especially when YOU'RE the recipient!

I see these two from Shilala being smoked as PPPs at a future herf.
a Garcia Vega Senator from 1940, a Spanish Crook wine dipped - barrel aged 1950-1960s,

It's excitement like this that makes me wanna herf! I'll just skip class and drive 2 1/2 hours for a smoke. lol

We should do a Punishment Pass too, like at Shack. I have a cremosa that needs smoking... lol
