Do you have many cigar-smoking buds away from this forum?

Okay Professor, riddle me this...

Herf = group meeting of cigar loving BOTLs!
(BOTL = Brother of the leaf)

It's a dumb word and I hate it!!!

Okay professor Deano...what do the letters H E R F stand for?

Names TJ, TJCoro, and I have a hi tech biatch!

Who? Me?...

I have no idea, but I like words you can use as a noun AND as a verb.

There might be a herf in Edinburgh.
I herfed with mates in London.

Christ - You are a slut!
Remember how you slutted ash all over the leather chairs at JJ Fox, and the sofa at La Casa Del Habano.

After extensive research, it appears the word herf originated with the following post on the newsgroup alt.smokers.cigars:

I bought a Canaria d'Oro(sic?)Robusto out of curiousity
and it was really a horrible, stale,grassy smoke with a
peed-on taste. I gave it about 2 inches before I put it
out. Also, anything Macanudo...I tried several when I
first began smoking cigars and found them all to be very
bland and almost impossible to herf, they were so tightly
wrapped. I think the list of `Mediocre Smokes' for most
folks would be huge.

Subsequent inquiries from other members of the newsgroup regarding this new word, herf, elicited this clarification from Prince of Skeeves:

EVERYONE MUST HERF

The first time I heard the word `herf' and recognized
it's potential for the enrichment of my vocabulary was
in junior college in Clyde, Texas in 1982 from a blueblood
derelict friend of my named Stu. In the context of the
time it was used to describe the ungainly and humorous
facial contortion required to deeply draw on a large,
hand-rolled cigarette of unknown filling while driving
a motor vehicle and keeping an eye peeled for the
Callahan County sheriff. Later I found the term `herf'
described nicely the method for getting a good mouthful
of tasty smoke from my favorite cigars.(Padron and HDM
Rothschilds)

Finished.End of story.

Nice piece of research Rokkitsci. Hopefully that will put this one to rest once and for all, although somehow I very much doubt it.

Interesting stuff. I think herf just kinda means 'meet' now....
