Ok guys, I know there are more than a few of us here in the Golden State, so it's high time we start thinking about getting a good herf going. Right now, we're looking at the most basic formative stages of this, the first step is figuring out where you all are so we can pick the place that best satisfies the problem of distance.

For starters, post up what city you are in if you live in CA. This is going to be a serious consideration on my part, and the outcome is only as good as the planning that goes into it. So help me out here and get to posting. (Note: the county in which you reside would also be helpful in case I'm not familiar with the city)

If all goes well, maybe we could be looking at a late fall get-together.

I live in Temecula in Riverside County, about 20 mins from you Joe. Really excited to get this thing going!

I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

Hopefully it gets a good turnout. I'd love nothing more than to get a good group of us together for a day.

Hmm. The logistics are tough on this one for the NorCal guys...I'm not quite sure how we could set this up in such a way that it wouldn't require a good deal of travel for at least some. Any ideas?

What about two herfs. A So Cal and a Nor Cal????

Right...only the third biggest. :)

That was my thought too Leonard, it's just too damn hard to meet in the middle somewhere.

Norcal guys, someone take up the reigns for the upper half of the state and try to get a herf going up there.

Right now, I'm going to tentatively propose Redlands as the herfing point as it is the place that is respectively closest for all who've posted thus far. There is a B&M/smoking lounge there. I'll be stopping in sometime this week to check the place out, and if it is up to snuff we might think about getting together there.

If anybody else has ideas, post 'em up, I'd love to hear them. And Socal guys that haven't posted, keep coming, I know there have to be a couple more.

Wait a second.... There's more than 2 people who smoke cigars in this state? I don't believe it!
