What's even worse... you apply for the Premier Gold card and when you get your card you discover that it comes with a statement showing a cbid purchase already on it!

You talk about your cigars more than you S.O./kids/etc.

Your hobby is re-arranging your humidors.

You plan your vacation around where to buy those hard to get cigars.

Your young children know the definition of herf.

a humidor is never more than 6" away (Rick...).

Your first born child is named Cohiba.

You have a 1,000 sq ft house with a 500 sq ft walk in humidor.

Your nickname is stogie.

You have a cigar label coffe table.

...every time you head for the back door, your 2-yr old asks, "Daddy, going outsod to 'moke a gar?"

...every time you head for the closet, your 2-yr old comes up and asks, "Daddy, you playing with you 'gars"?

...you smell your fingers every every so often while watching TV or when doing any other activity you deem not so important.

...you pull over the UPS guy to see if he has your CBid package...and you are miles from your neighborhood.

...you get really excited (I mean really) when walking through the Tupperware/Rubbermaid aisle at Wal-Mart or K-mart.

...you insist on making love to your SO in the closet because the temperature is consistent and the humidity has a chance of going even higher...

These are all off the cuff:
1. your mouth waters at the thought of a cigar after looking ar cbid or any cigar site/mag.
2. you get your clothes out of the washer and cigar bands are all shredded up in the machine.
3. you have 6 barely used bottles of butane around your house (for your lighter).
4. you stop in every cigar shop on your vacation looking at their prices and selection.
5.every knick-knack in your house is housed in a cigar box.
6. you have hundreds of match boxes and/or baggies lying around.
7. when people tell you stories of insects or vermin raiding their house, you bring up cigar bettles like they are a plague.
8. your favorite number is 70. 70/70 that is.
good for off the top of my head, eh?

The long answer, LOL, is:

The un-official word of ASC is Herf. Herf is a unique part of speech. It can be correctly used as a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb, an infinitive, a prefix, a suffix and an explicative.

The arcane word "herf" first entered the ASC lexicon on November 21, 1996, and was quickly elevated to frenetic and common use by ASCers. The Prince of Skeeves exposed ASC to the word herf in a casual posting to the group... however it was ASCers, as a budding collective, who took the word and made it divine.

Herf is now virulently spreading to worldwide common use as hip cigar parlance.

HERF - CHRONOLOGY:>/b>

As for the origin of Herf, here's the History of Herf (it's a matter of record on DejaNews)...

The word "herf" first appeared on ASC...

-------- [post quoted below] ----------------------------------

It was November 21, 1996... the elections were over, and "herf" unceremoniously beams into our lexicon... And, you were there (here's the exact post)...

******************************************************

Subject: worst cigars IMHO
From: [email protected] (Prince of Skeeves)
1996/11/21
Message-ID:
Newsgroups: 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.

So there you have it ... :-)

You might be addicted to cigars if..

You’ve tried to figure out how to turn all your old furniture (dressers, china cabinets, nightstands, etc) into cigar cabinets.

You have recycled cigar boxes in every room of the house used to store everything from loose change and pencils to baseball cards and hardware

You’ll drive 50 miles out your way on a business trip just so you can visit a “new” cigar store

When packing for an overnight business trip, you pack no less than a dozen cigars. Just in case…

You have a closer relationship with your out-of-state tobacconist (whom you’ve never met in person) than you do with your next-door neighbors

You keep a stack of CI catalogs in the bathroom and the pages are all stuck together!!!!

When you learned what the president had done with his cigars and Monica Lewinsky, you thought about asking your wife to be your portable humidor.

When during "good morning" activities with your wife, you are thinking about what cigar you want to smoke afterward (and you are premature because of it).

..every other line in your check ledger says CI fullfillment (debit cards kick ass!)..

..your SOs shopping list always includes ziplock bags..

..while sleeping through your Lit. class, you perk up upon hearing Romeo and Juliet, then remember where you are and promptly fall back asleep..

..you make a list of reasons that you might be addicted to cigars..

..your non-workrelated clothing consists largely or t-shirts and polos from cigar manufacturers..

..your name is Rick Maven, you have more cigars than Kennedy, George Burns, and CBID put together, and you are constantly posting your theories on the vast Right-wing (or was that left wing?, whichever wing isn't smoking a cigar right now) conspiracies, while dodging hummingbird spy planes..(no offense intended Rick, just in fun)
..your two daughters are named Juliet and Pearl(a)..

..you know what I mean when I say that I have a lot of RyJ #2 ISOMs..
..you've almost blown yourself up in the garage on countless occasions because you refuse to put your cigar down..

- that beautiful young lady you just met in the hotel bar asks you up to her room for a nightcap and a little conversation about how lonely she feels while travelling but you decline because she's staying in the non-smoking section.

- your insurance agent asks if you have a smoke alarm in your house and you reply that you always have a good supply on hand so you don't need any alarm.

...If you call in sick just to stay home and smoke cigars

...When your dentist wants to know how you burned your teeth

...You drop your cigar when you're fishing and it gets salt water soaked and fish slimmed with a brushing of sand and you smoke it anyway.

...When you have Humidors in the Bathroom. Oh, that's for, "How do you know when you're spending too much time in the bathroom?" (just teasing Rick)

...When your food is in the coolers and your cigars are in the frigerdor.

...You've had to take all the batteries out of the smoke detectors in your house.(If the Fire Dept. gets one more call.........)

..you have a cigar with your name on the band..

..you buy a box of cigars to hand out when the wife has the baby, but she's not even pregnant (buddy ofmine used that as his excuse)..

..you are glad that you have to drive 45 minutes across town in between your Tues. and Thrus class because it gives you time for a nice robusto..
