Brief departure from the topic at hand...
A return bomb is optional but not expected

Bombs happen frequently at HERFs. However, we have had get togethers where people felt embarrassed because they didn't come "packing." Which spurred me to bring this up.
That is dumb. Nobody is expecting a bomb at all, and if they are... they really shouldn't be there in the first place.
Not everybody CAN throw bombs around like crazy. A handful of cigars to each person of a large group could be more sticks than an individual has in their humidor.
Not everybody WANTS to throw that many out, especially to a group they may or may not know well.
So, please, do not feel pressured into bringing sticks "to share." We only want your company. Feel free to bring your newbie friends, or people who simply aren't on this board.
If I bomb you, that is my choice and my action. I am not expecting a single thing in return.
