A Bump and can we get a sticky?

[MasterCylinder]

I second the Sticky - this is quite helpful for learning the lingo here...

[mrtr33]

I like the sticky idea - but maybe clean it up a bit.

Also, what's a Herf? Is it an acronym or a cigar-related term? That's always eluded me.

From my soon to be released Cigar Journal </end shameless self promotion>

Herf - When people get together and are Smoking Cigars. An event nickname
developed for cigar smokers in the late ninetys on a cigar smokers News Group.

Edit to add: Maybe we need a new thread with a list of Acronyms and Common Cigar Terms. I can put one together tonight if anyone thinks it would be useful.

From cigaradvisor.com:

Herf
A lively gathering of cigar-smoking comrades who meet in a restaurant, club, cigar store or home to share their appreciation of fine cigars.

No idea about the origins...

Steve Saka coined the word herf on the ASC years ago
