Herf Etiquette

[ParaGod]

I decided to ask this for those that have never been to a herf, myself included. So to all the members that have attended a herf, here is your chance to post the DO's and Don'ts of herfing. So the rest of us don't make the same mistake.

Do have a designated driver if you're going to drink!

Take cigars to hand out, and take something to hand out that you would smoke, no dog rockets! Every herf I have attended you end up bringing more cigars home than what you took!

If the herf is at a lounge, resturant, etc. make sure you don't stiff the wait staff on paying the bill or leaving a tip (you would not believe the number of times I've seen this happen).

And the #1 thing to remember at a herf is........................................









HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Matt R. is attending, be sure to bring lots of Cohibas.

Yeah, Matt loves those Cohibas that come in the glass-top box!

Thanks for the tip Bill.... I was wondering what I could gift brother Matt at the LOL herf.....ROFLMAO!

The most important thing to do at a herf is be yourself and have fun. Do not be afraid to talk to any and everyone. All day herfs can get boring if you don't know how to socialize. You will meet some interesting characters. Allow someone else to be the herf clown. There is a difference between drinking and being a drunk. Gift cigars you would enjoy receiving. Take some extra special cigars for close friends. If the herf is having auctions and/or raffles be sure to bring a few extra dollars. Smile a lot.

There are no expectation from anyone and the above are not requirments...... just have fun and expect to enjoy the company of brothers and sisters of the leaf.

I agree with Kenny. You can't be a wallflower at a herf. When I'm at one of the herfs that I normally attend and I see a new face show up I go right up and introduce myself and jam a cigar in the guy's hand. That usually breaks the ice and makes the new guy relax and enjoy themselves.

Every herf I've been to I have been made to feel welcomed. After all we are all brothers of the leaf.

To avoid this, don't start your evening with wine and then help to drain 2 different brands of excellent rum. :lookup:

This is all well and good. And very informative. But I have a few questions of my own. Namely: What is a herf, where is a herf, and how can I join a herf?

This sounds like quite a time and right up my alley!

 

[Allofus123]

* Herfing: A "Herf" is a gathering of passionate cigar lovers for the sole purpose of meeting each other, relaxing, and enjoying a fine cigar!

A Herf is wherever you want it to be. It can be two people or several hundred.

Herf rules and etiquette:

(1) Make sure to pack a nice camera...perferably one from your wife's workplace. Then make sure to loose it on the way to the herf from the airport.

(2) Get your "own" hotel room. Make sure to bring your own sheep and don't leave a mess behind.

(3) Be sure to bring along plenty of Cubans...there's alot of clean up after the herf and you don't want to get stuck doing it yourself.

(4) Don't complain about second hand smoke.

(5) When a fellow herfer gifts you a tres petite...remind him that the size of a mans cigar is directly related to the size of his....well you know.

(6) Make sure to tell the host that the coffee is just as good as your Folgers at home.

(7) Find the guy with the most Cohibas....before Matt does.

(8) Light your cigars with paper matches or a mini Bic Lighter...until someone finally breaks down and gifts you a Colibri.

(9) If someone gifts you a cigar that was just gifted to them...make sure to gift it back to the original owner.

(10) Don't Puke.

All righty then. Now that we have the herf rules down, when is the next one besides LOLH III.... :thumbs:

 

[gws3]

LMAO @ beasty!!!!

 

[Allofus123]

I spit coffee all over the monitor reading those Jeff.

Beasty's list had a lot of inside jokes. I'm so honored to be the example for rule #1.
(As a side note to those who know about the camera escapade, I replaced the camera and two months later someone broke into the wife's Tahoe and stoled it. ??? )

The main rule to take serious is #7. :sign:

 

[Matt R]

Oh and stogieman...the next herf is next Saturday at my buddy Mike's pool. Come on up!!!

 

[Lee]

LMAO @ Jeff!!

All I want to know is.........who puked at a herf???? :sign:

I'm not sure exactly...but when you have guys smoking like 17 cigars in one day...it's safe to say someone has had to puke.
