Now I remember them. I'm better with faces than names.

Yeah, I think they live (or lived) in the Worcester area but don't know exactly where. The city of Worcester is ~ 45 min SE from me. Jim (JTK-12) lives in a town just south of Worcester. Hooking up for a herf is difficult since the state effectively shut down any public places to smoke.

I think the last MassHole herf I went to was the one Frank hosted at his Hut or the one at edin508's (Ed) club. BasicPatrick used to do an annual weekend long one at his place on the Cape but I don't think he's done it in the past couple years. It's cool hooking up with folks.

In person, folks rarely look like you'd imagine them. Even with the personalities, differences of opinions and views exhibited on the boards somehow the commonality of being humans that enjoy cigars leads to genuine camaraderie. You can even include guns in the mix, like at Ed's club in the middle of nowhere, and nobody gets shot and there are no bodies to dispose of.
