Cletus Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I really hate that word/term. Me too although I've no real idea why! x3 "Herf" sounds like something you do after smoking a full cigar on an empty stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdzotti78 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I found this on another forum, Hope it helps. Here is a popular origin of the word HERF: "Herf†was first used by “Prince of Skeeves†on the newsgroup alt.smokers.cigars on November 21, 1996. On November 23rd, “Prince of Skeeves†explained: “To `herf’ is to draw on a cigar. It’s less vulgar than ‘suck’ and not as misleading as ‘toke’.†On July 11, 1997, “Prince of Skeeves†further explained: “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.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david9985 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 On the lingo topic, what do the abbreviations and B&M stand for? Often see these used on the forum. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david9985 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sorry, I meant to say, the abbreviations LCDH and B&M stand for, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuma Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 LCDH= La Casa del Habano ("The House of the Havana") B&M = Brick and Mortar, i.e., a real cigar shop that you can physically visit and where you can purchase a cigar (not a virtual shop in Nigeria) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
