Craig gives some directions and has you go to Hagerstown and get on 81, but I think that taking 270 to Frederick and grabbing 15 N would be shorter and quicker. I plan to avoid the beltway altogether and go out to Leesburg and grab 15N there and take it all the way in.

It is depending upon 15. 15 isn't too bad until you get to Gettysburg. From there thru Dillsburg it can be a mess.

I'm not sure how the traffic is thru there on a Sat morning/afternoon. Might be OK, might not. I do know it's murder on a week nite.

I do know what the traffic is like on the 270/70/81 route, so I gave it.

My great-grandmother used to live in Dillsburg.......

Traffic through Dillsburg on the weekend shouldn't be too bad in Dillsburg (I work right up 15 from there). Rush hour on the other hand would not be a fun trip.

Newbie question here - what is a herf? I can deduce it to be a gathering of puffers but I've never heard the term before here.

[CRider]

That's pretty much it. I'll let someone answer where the term comes from (mainly cuz I just don't know LOL), but it's basically a gathering of cigar lovers...go out for some food, good smokes, maybe a drink or three...

OK guys here's where we are. Date is the 19th. Place is The Tobacco Company. We need to set a time to meet. I'll suggest 3PM to give everyone time to get in and settled. We can have a first smoke, bullshit for a while and then head out for some grub.

Here's the list so far:

HM
Ice
Chris
Anton
Sparhawk
Whitefish
MadMike
CM ?
Barbarian ?
Kev ?

If I missed anyone please chime in.

[Whitefish]

Hat told me that he is trying to get his schedule set up. So for right now he is a "soft" yes.

[KevinG]

I'm in.

I think by definition, I am not permitted to miss anything that is "Official" Cigar-Review.com stuff. I might have to fire myself. LOL.

[CRider]

Awesome!!!

You are correct. IMO, the group of guys, and gals, that belong here are the best. The herf in Tampa proved this. It was one of the relaxing and enjoyable times I have experienced. Thats why I plan to attend this one.

Now, with that being said... dozenmonkeyz... You live in Akron, so you should plan to attend too.

So, just confirming this is just an overnighter? Drive up to get there in time Saturday, spend the night and head back Sunday? We are going to do everything we do on Saturday Evening after 3? Nothing on Sunday?

Somebody drive past Cedar Cliff and waive to my high school?

That's up to you guys. There's not that much in this area other than Gettysburg Battlefield. If there's guys who want to see it we can do that Sunday. Or bring your clubs and we'll play golf!
