Buck14 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19 We will reschedule. WE’RE BACK! Please mark your calendars for our next Chicago Habanos Society HERF! Location: Big Mike's Cigars in Skokie, IL Address: Big Mike's Cigars 8016 Lincoln Ave, Skokie, IL 60077 (847) 675-2447 https://g.co/kgs/A3Kd12 Date: Saturday, May 16th Time: 1pm to Late We will be there well into the night! For a long time! So no worries if you want to show up a little later. Food: TBD Specifics: 1. We can bring in our Cuban cigars and smoke them all day and night! 2. You may bring in your own alcohol to drink. Big Mike's has plenty of glassware for us to use if anyone wants to bring in theior favorite liquor, wine, beer, etc. 3. They have a large variety of non-alcoholic drinks for sale. Entrance Fee / Cost / Minimum Spend Per Person: Big Mike’s has been kind enough to allow us to come into their establishment, take up valuable space and allow us to smoke Cuban cigars that we obviously cannot purchase there. We worked out a deal where everyone attending is asked to buy a couple of sticks from the humidor as an “entrance fee.” Or you can just pay a $20 flat fee or make other purchase(s) totaling $20 or more. This is an incredibly low minimum spend per person for a HERF! This applies to EVERYONE who attends the CHS HERF!: CHS & FoH Members, Guests, Smokers and Non-Smokers. This is my local B&M and I love this place and have a special relationship with the ownership / management to be able to host this special event so please remember to throw them a few bucks for extending us this courtesy! Attendees: Please reply in this thread to us know if you will be able to attend so that we can give Mike's a head count and reserve the right number of tables. Running Attendee List: @mdido @Buck14 @kevpro @NewFatMike (+ Mich) @Chibearsv (after the ponies are done at Arlington) @lovethehaze @inter4alia @SigSauer516 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck14 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Bump - I know this is a couple of months out still - just wanted to see if there is enough interest to get together on May 16th? If not we will cancel or reschedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chibearsv Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I plan on attending after the races at AP (if they race this year). I'm finally over the picture of supplies that @lovethehaze sent before the last herf. It was the first time in the last 7 or 8 years of no alcohol that the first thought in my head after seeing that photo was "if I only have 1, that'll be ok". I had to call an audible to avoid the temptation. Bad thoughts gone now. I'm up for the herf and looking forward to meeting the group. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak for myself but I think as a group everyone would support you. Congrats ! That’s an amazing accomplishment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your photo was glorious, make no mistake. I'm praising you, not cursing you. Do not hold back on doing it again. This was all just an internal dilemma for me and only at that moment. I'm good to go now, was just giving full disclosure since I felt bad for not making it to the last one. Cheers to all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ALWAYS some members who don’t drink at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey rockets Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Not surprised because it's a group activity but has the owner been allowed to stay open during this shutdown? In Iowa, establishments that sold alcohol/tobacco products mainly were allowed to remain open per the governor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFatMike Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Any thoughts on doing a virtual HERF? It would be nice to see everyone's faces and I've been sitting in on a few group video chats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thStarChicago Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 With Phase 4 happening in Chicago later this week, we can have the patio at Up Down open with good capacity again. I'm willing to host outside, especially later in the evening, if you guys want to get something on the calendar. I have some new recruits I can possibly bring to the table as well. Just thought I'd bring it up since there's been no discussion since April. I can host a Zoom meeting too if you guys have the itch to be social smoking. Cheers, Phil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
