At the November herf, 70 guys showed up ... many of them came quite a distance to attend and one came from as far away as Rochester, NY ... oh, I know ... it seems he developed a sudden need to be in town on "business", but we had guys from all over NorCal and Monterey and Fresno too ... it was one fine happening ... GR8Stag is a superb, experienced organizer of events and is one hell of a fine host ...

I'd recommend this event very highly to all you SoCal guys ... drive or fly up and stay overnight ... what the hell, you only live once and if this herf is even half as good as the last one, it will still be one of those things that are all too rare, but really make life worth living ...

Copied from another thread:

Guys,I'd love to make this herf and I've already checked into it,FWIW I checked into making the last one as well and it was the same thing.

There are just no reasonable flights early enough out of Orange County on Sunday morning to make the first kickoff and fly back on Monday morning and there are no flights out of Oakland late enough on Sunday to fly up Saturday evening.Hell Air fare is almost nothing,looks like $72 round trip,fly up sat late afternoon and fly back monday early morning about 9ish.I just can't justify the two nights hotel + taxi back and forth to the airport and stuff for a one day herf.

Now if one of the other So Cal guys wanted to go as well and split the room and sh*t we might be talkin but we only have till Sat morning to book the flight resorvations/2weeks in advance.Or if one of the guys near the Oakland airport would be so kind as to put me up on the couch for Sat-Sunday evenings I'd say I'm there!

Hell I've stayed at Rookies place two years in a row now,when JCrimmins,MrMean,Rookie and myself drove down from Chicago to meet up with USAHog for the Springfield Ill/LOL Herf and Rookies still alive...LOL

20yrs ago,oh hell 10 years ago I would have drove the seven hrs up,partied all day and drove back that night...LOL

Don't worry though I will make it up there for one of these things.I'm a Herfin fool damnit! The only other guy on this board that I know of that has more Herf mileage than myself would be our old buddy Rob Ray at least as far as I know.Well there is USAHog but Saudi Arabia on Uncle Sams dime dosen't count...LOL

Make new friends and renew old frienships, swap cigars and stories, watch a couple of football games, wager a few cigars on a game or buy a square or two in a pool with cigars, drink a cold one, smoke a cigar, share a laugh, win a prize or two, get a FREE cigar you haven't tried before, eat a GREAT calzone/pizza, smoke a cigar, drink a glass of wine, maybe a glass of vintage port, trade a cigar with someone you never knew existed until 5 minutes earlier, learn where San Leandro is, make a friend, share a smoke, who would want to spend a WHOLE day doing this????????????????

Humidor from Bargain Humidors arrived today along with a box of Cuesta Rey and a nice selection of la Luna in Maduro, Cameroon, and a few natural fuertes. Don't forget soccer stuff new and used for the orphanage that Camacho Cigars sponsors, we have another big raffle with great prizes, a pinball contest during the day, rumors of a power herf, maybe a longest ash contest and ????????????
don't forget two football pools with a one stick per square entry. Pays off as follows:
1st Qtr- 15 sticks
2nd Qtr- 20 sticks
3rd Qtr- 25 sticks
4th Qtr- 40 sticks

Just heard about the Herf. Sounds like it will be incredible and that Gr8stg has gone to extraordinary lenghts to put together a memorable event. Would love to make it but can't. Have a great time and let us know how this awesome event turns out.

Gr8stag: I have some baseball equipment --- 5 helmets, catchers gear, some baseballs if the orphanage would want them. Only question is pick-up/transport --- very bulky (very large baseball duffle bag)?

Well gang, the herf was Great!
A bunch of real nice guys from Cbid & other forums. I met Mark(gr8stag), Steve(SteveS), Chris(cwilhelmi), & Barry(barryneedleman) from CBid. I recommend that if you can make it to the next one, do it! Everyone won a prize! Free cigars & other stuff. Best of all made new friends and got to put a face with a name here on CBid foums!

Thanks to Mark & Steve for doing a fine job organizing it!

Mark, Steve, Chris, GREAT JOB. I had a fantastic time at this herf. Very well run, cigars, accesories and everyone was a winner in the raffle (with the proceeds going to an orphanage soccer program). It was great to put faces with names. I will make this one again (March Madness???)
