I'd love that Pete... I think: I have no idea what a "herf" is... but as long as you're a hot, 22 year old blond woman, I don't think it matters.

I tell you what, if I'm still around in April, I'd love to get together for a smoke and a beer. I have to tell you though that I may be headed out, to Arkansas of all places. Nothing decided yet, but I'll let you know if I'm going to be here.

We just had the big triathlon. No offense to your wife at all, but it's kind of unsettling when your small town is taken over by hundreds of people in
spandex.

Aloha,
Justin

Of course, that was back before we knew that second hand smoke would kill all small children within 500 feet of the smoker.

Herf here: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=37

A herf is a gathering of BOTLs (brothers of the leaf). If all goes as planned some friends/family of mine will also be out there the same time so there may be a couple more cigar smokers. With the tri going on, it shouldn't be too tough to find a hot gal also (I always see many at these events).

Herfs seem to be a lot more common on the cigar boards. Haven't seen much mention of them here. I've been on CS since May or June and been to about four herfs so far.

Herf often

C.S. Lewis, definitely. Bing is a must as well.

Bing Crosby is likely the person who inspired me to start smoking pipes years ago. I actually have one of his pipes he gave me back in the seventies.

I would have to say Gordon McQuarrie

[McFortner]

Generals Patton and MacArthur both smoked pipes.

I'll probably get crucified for admitting that I saw this, but "Orson Hodge" on Desperate Housewives this past Sunday night!!! I will have to think about more historic characters

[hayward_tenney]

[constructing cross now]

Archibald Alec Leach, a.k.a. Cary Grant.

[Dedalus]

Stephen Fry


Charlie Mingus


Pablo Picasso - or at least a painting of his (Garçon à la Pipe) - which fetched US$104,168,000 at Sotheby's auction in New York City in 2004.


And perhaps even Anthony Hopkins's character in Legends of the Fall


Other fictional pipe smokers I've run across in the past couple of days:
Henry Smart, from Roddy Doyle's A Star Called Henry - he uses a disguise as a traveling salesman for Kapp and Petersen to get around Dublin (he's wanted for his part in the 1916 uprising).
And Policeman MacCruiskeen in Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman

[MedicCook]

I would have to say Sherlock Holmes.

In the spirit of good music (see my icon), my pipe smoking idol is saxophonist/composer Anthony Braxton. I'd go broke faster collecting all his music than I would only buying Dunhill pipes! The guy has got to be one of the most prolific recording artists ever.
