First Ever HERF With My Sons!

[ahc4353]

First off I need to say I have never pushed cigars on my boys. When they ask questions about it I just answer the question and move along. Figured if they ever wanted to give it a try they would ask.

Well today was a great day. Weather was perfect and all my family was here. Fired up the BBQ and had a great dinner. Before we sat down to eat my sons said, " hey dad can we have a cigar with you after dinner?".
What? (be still my heart)
Sure!

So after dinner I went and got the bottle of Blue that Dan had sent a few weeks ago and grabbed a couple of smokes. To put what I was feeling into words is beyond my ability. Pic says it all.

They all enjoyed their cigars and nubbed each and every one. Looks like you guys might have to put up with a few more Clark's in the future. :D

(I would ask you don't chop my sons. Thank You)

Just doesn't get any better than that.....I truly wish that I could smoke a cigar with my Father. I know it won't ever happen. I guess that's why God gave us good friends. They know who they are.

[dbreazeale]

Great looking family! I bet that was the best cigar that you've ever smoked. :tu

[Savor the Stick]

Al, that is so awesome. Glad it worked out for you.

A Herf to remember! Congrats to you and the boys, Al. :D

[Old Sailor]

Awesome Al, congrats!!;)



























I'm still trying to figure out "guess who?" in the pic.:r

[GKitty]

That's super squishy, Al! A cigar with friends is fantastic, can only imagine what it's like to share an obsession with those we love.

[newcigarz]

Very nice. :tu

[bvilchez]

Congrats Al. Hope you and your sons have many more to come.

[Skywalker]

Superbad!!!:tu

I got to smoke cigars with my son (22) and daughter (20) last week for their birthdays!!! Nothing better!!!:tu

[Don Fernando]

great, more NJ targets :r

congrats Al, I know what kind of family man you are and how much this means to you. How is Jr doing by the way?

[gnukfu]

Very nice Al!

[ABNMP619]

That is awesome! I have four boys myself and I can only hope one day I get that chance. What kind of sticks did you throw at them or did you let them choose? :ss

[14holestogie]

Thanks for sharing, Al. Very, very cool. :tu

They asked me to pick so I offered RASCC and RyJ Mille Fleur, two of my favorites. Jr went with the Mille, Mitch and Eric picked the RASCC. They let each other try each. Mitch is not a Mille fan!

Side note.
I took a puff off of the Millie and it was FANTASTIC! Tons of floral just like I like. So much so that after my RASCC I said I just had to have one. Well, mine was kinda, meh. I found it surprising how vastly different two cigars from the same box could be. Oh well, such is or hobby. I'll just have to give another one a try. :D

[TripleF]

Suhweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet !!!


Very cool! :tu

[kaisersozei]

Very cool, Al. My oldest picked up the hobby on his own (after accompanying dear old dad to a mini-herf with SeanGAR last year :tu) and it's always a kick to smoke with him. Enjoy those times!

[DPD6030]

Wonderful to hear Al! Glad you and your sons can enjoy some smokes and a drink or two. Sounds like this might become a Clark family reunion herf!

[potlimit]

Wow, what a dad... RASCC, RyJ Mille Fleur, and JOHNNY BLUEEEEE!!!

Awesome.

[Kwilkinson]

Al, that's really awesome.

[dunng]

Talk about a nice way to spend the evening! :tu

[GreekGodX]

This thread brings a tear to my eye. As I know what it's like to herf with my dad.

[Scottw]

Freekin awesome!! Some of the best sticks I have smoked were with my brother and my father. The best being the ones we smoked outside the hospital together the day my little guy was born. Thank you for sharing.

[Emerald]

Looks like a wonderful family experience.:tu I too am waiting for the day my son will ask to smoke a cigar and drink Blue label together, but he is only one and a half. :r
