What is a herf!?!?

You have heard the term before, "herf." No it isn't a STD, or a body part, or hardcore gang street lingo. It is the term for a cigar gathering. The word, Herf really has unknown origins, there are many theory's out there. But here are the main points.

1. A herf takes place when two or more people get together to smoke a cigar.

2. When attending a herf, always bring your own sticks, plus a couple of extra to share and trade. Don't worry, you will probably walk away from a herf with some pretty great cigars.

3. Bring a libation of some sort to share. A nice rum, or beer would be preferable.

4. If the herf is at your local "brick and mortar" shop, bring a little cash and purchase something from them. They are being extra generous opening their doors to you, so please, return the favor.

5. Be prepared to talk. Not only will you be talking about the cigar, but most likely you will be sharing your opinion on politics, current events, sports, etc. There is one think I can't stand, is someone in the corner, not being involved!

So there, those are my 5 things to know about a herf!

Now, start a herf and enjoy!
