Kent Herf in Deal - Saturday 28 March 2009

[Robusto]

Ready for a Massive Smoke, my man!

Going to look at a free brown leather 2 seater sofa for my smoke shack first. Fingers crossed.

It's in Dover so I might never be heard of again...

Tell the wife the details are on my msn if I vanish.

Adieu.

An AWESOME brown/black leather sofa for the shack.
Cigar man's paradise is ever closer!
Free through Gumtree. A mate with a van helps move Saturday.
Cigars will do to celebrate, Paul.

What a great day!

Splendid, it was!

Firstly because I picked up this sofa for nothing for my smoke shack:




Secondly because Paul the DAWG and I met up for our herf and did the business.

We spent between 6.30pm and 10.30pm in easy conversation and frequent laughter over a couple of fine cigars each and a couple of beers each. You can see some of the evidence below. Please play Spot The Stogie and Name That Brew.

Excellent to meet you, Paul. Fantastic when posts on a forum morph into meeting up properly. We will definitely be doing this again somewhere on the ten mile journey between our respective humidors and smoke sofas.

I had no idea of the time, and I did not look at my watch once all evening.

Herf pictures really amuse me. Blokes sit at beer garden tables, pull on cigars, have beers. On the table is always the spread of evidence of the dreadful habit.

I find it funny. I really do. Please forgive me. At the same time as knowing a great time is happening.

I'm tinily into model railways, but I wouldn't join a forum and meet up like this at a pub. Weird prospect.

All my trains and track are in boxes in a wardrobe. I don't hunt them out of their cardboard boxes and give them a deep sniff daily.

Thank the Lord for cigars, Paul! Chaps!
A great night that will keep me chuckling all day, mate.

And thanks for the forum, Deano.

Brian what a great night and fantastic to meet you at last, if not somewhat cold towards the end. I really enjoyed our conversation and the fine smokes that we had. Like you I was not aware of the time got outside in the car park and it was 2230 didn't get in till 2300. I am so glad we had the chance to meet, we must set aside some more time to herf again. We spoke about the London herf, it cannot arrive soon enough for me. To have the opportunity to meet at least 11 other members of the forum wonderful. I would like to echo your thanks to Deano what a great place this is. In the Orwell Cigar shack next time with the leather sofa!!!! sounds so wrong!!!!!

I was nicotined out on the way home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo Woo Woo trains go trundling by!!!!
