DC Herf'A'Paloza - June 23

Don't lie to me bitch, you'd never cut a cigar with a cleaver.


Sounds pretty average otherwise.

Well, here's some pics of us smoking around the table. Including one of me smoking the stick Juan was talking about.

In no particular order, we have:

illilli


Cabiguan Juan


mauied1101


and last but not least, Da Newf (Hmmm, I think illilli and I use the same barber)


We had an awesome time, although past 9:00 PM it did get very loud in the place and we almost had to yell across the table to be heard. The food was great, the smokes were spectacular (just too bad I didn't get a picture of the selection of smokes on the table) and the company was awesome.

Juan was the first in after me and we just kinda looked at each other a couple of times until he finally said "Jim .... Newfie??". I said yeah. He said the same thing happened when he first met Mauied.

I was looking at the pictures this morning and thought "Man, illilli and mauied just look wayyyyyyyyy too stressed!!!" Do you all agree? Juan and I each look like we're hurtin' ourselves trying to draw on the cigars!!

I felt a bit nervous when I first went in carrying about 30 sticks. Since they sell smokes there, I felt as if I was sneaking beer into a bar. Once everyone showed up, the smokes came out on the table and all was good.

I think I can class the first HERF I attended as a success. Too bad Mark and Fish couldn't make it due to other committments, but hopefully we can all meet again some day.

Time to get some work done.

Later.

Thanks for sharing the pics- Newfie. It is great to put faces to screen names, even if you all are a bunch of goofy looking bastids!

Shag's gonna have fun with these...

Thanks for sharing the pics- Newfie. It is great to put faces to screen names, especially since you all are a bunch of great looking bastids!

Thanks SLC...not to be vain, but we agree...

Great pic Newfie.

Looks like you guys had yourselves a helleva time

[illilli]

I had a great time at the herf as well. I wasn't stressed out in that picture, I was just enjoying that smoke which was a very nice Partagas that Newfie shared with me.

Many thanks to Newfie, Med and Juan for the cigars they brought as gifts and to share. I left with some absolutely great sticks. I have to give a special thank you to Newfie for gifting me with two special sticks that I have been wanting to try for a long time. I was a little short in the gift department on this trip, but I will make it up to you guys. (I keep getting further and further behind with Med, but I will catch up when he least expects it. )

Med and Juan, post your pictures too! My wife thinks I was out picking up chicks and I want to show her that I was really mugging it up with a bunch of fuglies!
