:laugh: :headroll:

So this is NOT the HERFing that goes on here (at least the HERFs I go to)...where does it originate for us cigar folk?

My friend was just asking me where the term "herf" comes from, and I had to admit i didn't know. Of course, I was kinda busy fondling a Smurf at the moment he asked me.

The term "Herf" used to describe the smoking of a cigar comes from the 1960's in America when many cigar smokers listened to Herf Alpert and the Tijuana Brass while smoking their favorite stogie. The music was latinesque and thus provided an atmosphere of semi-cuban reminiscence. Soon, cigar smokers began to say things like "I was with the Brass last night and the Herf was so good I thought I was in Havana." Thus, we can all thank Herf Alpert for his influence on 'garbonics.

....and now the real story....

The term herf started around 1996 in the cigar news groups that used to be popular at the beginning of the internet boom. The word can be a noun, adjective, verb, prefix, suffix, expletive or an adverb, there is no wrong way to use the term.

Most often it is used to describe a cigar outing with a group of friends. You may see a post on a forum announcing a herf, which would be several guys getting together to smoke cigars at a club, restaurant or smoke shop. I said guys, but girls we will herf with you to and girls herf all the time. Actually, I love to see a group of beautiful ladies herfing. There is nothing sexier than a girl at a herf.

Only problem with this is his name was Herb Alpert.

I coined the term "Circle Herf" once, some folks got it, some didn't...I'm sure there's more of a joke there but I'm going to leave it at that. LOL
