Re: If you could HERF with ANYONE who is dead..

This topic has come up before and I always go right back to my dad. No famous person would be even close. He died a couple of decades before I started cigars, but he was known to have one every now and then. He was a very learned man and I'd love to have a deep conversation as an adult with him over a cigar or two. (I'm now less than a year away from the age he was when he passed.)

As for famous persons, I think I'd go along with Spurgeon. There would be a deep conversation too!

Re: If you could HERF with ANYONE who is dead..

Even though my Dad was not a cigar smoker, I would love hang out with him once more, I am sure I could get him to have one with me.
As far as famous people, I would probably say Paul Newman. Aside from his great movies, I have always been a big IndyCar fan and got to meet him once at the Indy 500. He seemed like a cool guy to hang out with.

Re: If you could HERF with ANYONE who is dead..

I'll echo the sentiments to herf with Churchill and Twain. I'll also add the great person that first rolled the fine leaf into a cigar! Just gotta know what they were thinking.

Re: If you could HERF with ANYONE who is dead..

my grandfather was a pipe smoker, close enough, he'd be the top of the list.

as for other folks... top 3:
Churchill for sure!
Pavarotti
George S. Patton

Re: If you could HERF with ANYONE who is dead..

I'm not sure that Churchill was a real fun guy.
I'd go with Groucho and Twain.




(among the living - I'd love to have a smoke with Rush.)

JFK since he started the Cuban Embargo. That would be my first question...
From what I have read Kennedy wanted to exempt cigars from the embargo but the Tampa cigar makers protested.

Re: If you could HERF with ANYONE who is dead..

I would want to smoke with my dad. Never really got to know him. He wasn't around much and then passed away when I was 9. It's strange missing someone you didn't know much about.

Re: If you could HERF with ANYONE who is dead..

I think my top three would be:

Pablo Escobar - his ability to build a drug empire in Columbia, I find amazing.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - the man beat the British without a gun!

Bobby Jones - the best golfer (in my opinion) in history.

An odd threesome, but thats mine.

Tim Russert. Meet the Press is a shadow of its former self without him.
