Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
From caddies to number of cigars, lighters to beer, what do you fellas take with you when you're going to a herf?

This could very from a 2 person herf to an epicly large herf such as shack.

Just curious what yall take

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
Golf herf I take my 5ct.
<5 I take my 10ct.
>5 I take my 30ct.
>5 like Shack I take my 10ct + 30ct and remove the trays to fit almost twice as many cigars :D

Lighter & cutter if allowed (meaning flying) and if it's at someone's house I try to bring something for the host if I can.

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
at a minimum: extra cigars, torch, cutter, back-up bic (amazing how much it's used)!!

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
I dont leave the house at all without my cutter and lighter, that is a given to have at all times. When heading to a HERF I like to show appreciation to the host and depending on who the person is it could be a bottle of great beer I enjoyed or a particular item that is not a cigar I think they would enjoy. Also travel with my 20 ct traveldor, Butane and my good looks :D

Herf-a-dor - 15 count,
Sometimes - a 100 count case,
A large Cooler - full of Sierra Nevada,
If the Herf is at Casa Mean Darrell's - A chair,:r
I usually bring a snack or two,
and I always bring Arganese cigars for all my friends!!!

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
It's all herf-relative.

Small (2-3) herf I might just bring my 15 count otterbox.

Medium herf, either my 32 count otterbox or my Haliburton with trays removed and cigars in baggies.

Large herf (Shack, etc), all three plus a large tupperdore with boxes inside.

My other gear for the herfs...always have my Palio and my Blazer PB-207 on my pockets. Some empty singles bags in the traveldor to hand out. A sharpie to write down who gifted me a cigar. Maybe some Vector if it's a big herf.

And liquor...always liquor.

ditto! I believe you cannot use the word "Epic" to describe a herf until you have been to both Shack and SoCal :tu

I don't get to herf a lot due to my location, but when I do I usually bring the following:

Cutter and Lighter (always have these handy)
Butane refill (always seemed to get used)
Wooden Matches (just in case)
Supply of cigars for myself
Supply of cigars to share
Blackberry (to access random facts if needed)
Knob Creek (I might share)
Zip lock bags (gallon size-in case I or someone else needs one)
Good Conversion

You really want to know, Andrew? Come to the NYC herf on Oct. 24th and I'll show you. :ss

icantbejon 09-21-2009 03:09 PM

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
I bring my 10 or 15 ct travel humi, a cutter, a lighter, and a few sticks for the host. I usually have a few to pass to my fellow herfers as well.

The only exclusion to this whole rule would be if I'm herfing at JK5s house. Then I bring nothing, steal a cigar or two from his aristo, use his lighter, use his cutter, and drink one of his beers. He owes me...that's how I see it.

Clampdown 09-21-2009 03:42 PM

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
It depends on the herf.

If im going out for a night of drinking then I will bring my Xikar 15ct, but if its a weekend then Ill bring my 80ct. I tend to over pack, but happy to feel secure I didnt leave anything at home.

Other then that, a couple of lighters (One Blazer and one "crack lighter" from Deal Extreme), Palio, and my cigar stand.

Darrell 09-21-2009 05:33 PM

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
I bring my 18 count with the trays removed so I can have double the sticks. I also bring a cutter, light, can of Vector gas, Cremosas, BABOTL stickers, some kind of food and something for the host (usually sticks).

I also bring sarcasm. :D

itsme_timd 09-21-2009 05:49 PM

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
For a typical Saturday evening type of herf I usually take my travel tupperdore that holds about 6-8 sticks plus lighter and cutter. I may take some rum, whiskey or port along to share - depending on where we are meeting up.

For a BIG herf I'll take my 35 ct desktop and a cooler full of beverages and eats!

Let's herf!!! :ss :banger :ss

pnoon 09-21-2009 05:53 PM

Re: Your Herf "Gearbag"
 
To the larger herfs (Shack, SoCal et. al.), I take my 18 count and 30 count traveldor with the trays removed. If I'm driving (SoCal), bottles of booze. If I'm flying (Shack et. al.), I'll buy booze when I get there.

For our weekly S.H.I.T. herf, the 30 count with trays. Booze and/or beer.

I have been to one and not the other and ;s but sometimes the crowd in a small ugly little place I know has made it a truly an EPIC herf We laughed so hard we cried. It is the people that make the herf:tu

bring cigars, chair, cutter (palio) and have good time...ok sometimes food or ice cream for the kids sometimes shrimp and sometimes you gotta get your ass into the kitchen and rattle those pots and pans.

BOTTOM Line "Don't sweat the small stuff" enjoy :ss
