For those who are not familiar with the urban term <em>herf<\/em>, it is simply a gathering of cigar smokers who meet in a central location, or virtually, to share their appreciation of fine cigars. Upon arrival at the event, I was greeted by fellow comrades with an unexpected gift pack full of quality and hard-to-find cigars. Even though I have experienced this so many times, I&#8217;m still pleasantly surprised at the generosity and selflessness of cigar smokers. Friends, people you just met, strangers are always willing to share and go an extra mile to help each other out &#8211; quality that is lacking in today&#8217;s world. The BOTL HERF&#8217;s agenda was simple: smoke cigars, converse, smoke cigars, play cards, smoke cigars, enjoy delicious BBQ provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebrownstone.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Brownstone<\/a> (* Yes, The Brownstone from <em>The Housewives of NJ<\/em>), and &#8230; smoke cigars. Personally, I have smoked the following: Liga Privada No9, Tatuaje Barclay Rex 100th Anniversary and <a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/category\/cigar-photographs\/tatuaje-black-petite-lancero\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Tatuaje Black Petite Lancero<\/a>. In addition to great smokes, I have enjoyed friendly atmosphere, great camaraderie and look forward to future BOTL HERFs. Thanks to all for organizing it and your generosity !<\/span><br \/>\n<\/br><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">Please consider the following post:<\/span><br \/>\n* <a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/category\/cigar-events\/nj-cigar-festival\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">New Jersey Cigar Festival<\/a><br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1223-Edit.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1408]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1414\" title=\"BOTL Herf 2011 (EXIF : Nikon D3 : f\/4)\" src=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1223-Edit-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1223-Edit-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1223-Edit.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1221.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1408]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1413\" title=\"BOTL Herf 2011 (EXIF : Nikon D3 : f\/4)\" src=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1221-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1221-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1221.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1229-Edit.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1408]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1415\" title=\"BOTL Herf 2011 (EXIF : Nikon D3 : f\/4)\" src=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1229-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1229-Edit.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1229-Edit-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1173.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1408]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1411\" title=\"BOTL Herf 2011 (EXIF : Nikon D3 : f\/4)\" src=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1173-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1173-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1173.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1181.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1408]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1412\" title=\"BOTL Herf 2011 (EXIF : Nikon D3 : f\/4)\" src=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1181-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1181-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1181.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1238.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1408]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1416\" title=\"BOTL Herf 2011 (EXIF : Nikon D3 : f\/2.8)\" src=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1238-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1238-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1238.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1273.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1408]\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1417\" title=\"BOTL Herf 2011 (EXIF : Nikon D3 : f\/2.8)\" src=\"http:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1273-266x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1273-266x400.jpg 266w, https:\/\/cigarphoto.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DSC_1273.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211;
