Dropped the rental off home safe and crashin. Back at it 0500. I'll post more tomorrow. Great times fellas
Now that I finally got a little sleep...
Just wanted to reach out and tell everyone that attended again, how great it was to see you, and how much I appreciate you making the effort to come.. A lot of guys took time off work, spent a ton of money of travel, etc.. to get there.. hopefully everyone had a good time and it was worth the ass pain associated with making the trip..
Special thanks out to Dustin.. Saturday night dinner was simply excellent.. the help with planning the menu, making sure everything came within budget, etc.. was huge.... we couldnt have pulled off the meals/food without your help both in the kitchen.. and during the planning phase..
Special thanks to jfire as well.. lots of help before the HERF assisting with organizational ideas/thoughts, etc.. and tons of help all weekend just keeping things moving along, keeping the place organized, etc..
And special thanks to all the kitchen bitches, clean up crews, and the guys that stayed behind on Sunday to help get the place back in order before we checked out.. and all the rest of you that kept walking around all weekend helping to take out the trash, pick up messes, etc.. that place would have been completely out of hand without all of you guys pitching in and helping out all the time..
I had a great time... was awesome to see most of the guys from HBH II come back and get to spend some time with you.. and was even more awesome to have a chance to meet all of the "new" attendees.. hopefully youll all think about coming back next year (we're going to have to start an alumni group at this point.. there's a bunch of us!)..

Alright, after the long ride home and a little sleep I'm ready to say what a fantastic time I had!
I started this post with the intent of making a few call outs, but as I got to typing I realized I would have listed every single one of you. So simply put thank you all for coming. Wether you organized the event, cooked a meal, brought tasty beverages or just spent time smoking with me, you all helped contribute to one of the best weekends of my life. Ourcommunity family here is seriously amazing and I'm beyond grateful for it.
Here's to hoping I see you all again soon be it on the board, in person or maybe at Operation Esteli.

Hack the Gibson!
Guys, I've got to say that this weekend was one the best times I've had in the last few years! Thanks to all those that planned this amazing herf and thanks to cooks for some of the best food I've had in a long time! Can't wait to do this again next year!
Gentleman, sincerely happy to have spent the weekend with all of you. I'm not one to get all romantic with my words, so I'll just say this...thank you. Thank you for providing one of the best weekends ever in my books. I challenge all members who haven't made it out to some herf with the brothers you have here, go meet up. You'll make some real lasting friendships. Once you make those connections, you're no longer just members of a board, you're part of the family. You guys are the best, and I'd go to bat for each and every one of you. Thanks for providing me with some great memories. Dave, thanks for being such a great host. To next year!
And......Get involved with Operation Esteli, anything done is something done for the better! Let's show the cigar community who we are!

Just woke up to Dada and the dog licking my face this morning. I miss all you guys already but it felt great to get back home and the swing of things!
To Dave West:
Your Herf coordinating skills, pure hard work and determination will never be forgot by me. You can count me in for whatever you guys need for operation esteli this year as well. Good luck on your schooling and "the boards" for law school. You're going to do just fine Dave!!!!!
Tn Dave: You became a father figure to me over night. The conversations we had and life lessons you shared will not be forgotten. I'm taking you up on the trout fishing trip in 2 years! (Small fishing Herf trip!?!?) pm coming!!!!!
Dustin: Watching you work in the kitchen is awe inspiring! Coming from a guy that has just learned the basics at the firehouse. Watching a true pro use what's available and turning it into the Mona Lisa of beef roasts was truly amazing. And all under budget. Damn son!
JavaJ Sean:
I quietly watched u take over kitchen duties, coffee patrol and any other organizing like "black bear maul watch" for ish with out hesitation. That's the definition of selfishness. What can I say true BOTL.....
Ish: What can I say? I love you. I truly mean that. You are my brother from a rebel family. And you gave this weekend hell, chewed it up and spit it out. Get some water in ya!!!!!! I'll be talking to you as always.
TN local crew: Thanks for the hospitality, cigars, conversations, moonshine and "other" treats! Thanks for welcoming this "abrasive Yankee" like family.
JCMD and Catawba Matt: Award to the two coolest "young bloods" at the Herf. You guys have that hipster vibe nailed. Keep rocking the great laid back attitudes and big smiles. It was a pleasure rocking the loaner "newsboy" hat Matt!
Mike Madcox: You ever need any chat time hit me a pm. Thanks for the HHerf banner work. I'll be sending you my number via pm.
Mr 4.0: Damn you are BIG dude! But you carry it with grace and style! It was great to finally meet you. I'm glad the Intel was correct and your thoughts of the "GI props" was everything you hoped it would be. Like I told you, Lmk when you can come in and can "inspect" the home lounge for research purposes!
Jmartins: It's going to be ok! Small people generally have full size children! In all seriousness I enjoyed our convos on the back deck. If you need any fathering advice....... Pm TN Dave!!!!!
The Chi crew: It's always a pleasure to hang out with you guys wether it be WI, IL or even TN. I truly believe Chi guys know what brotherhood means, when 6 of us our willing to travel 10 hrs to a Herf.
Andy: Every time we hang at one of these herfs I wished I lived closer bro. You are a laid back, selfless giving dude. You are a true brother. Good luck on your home search!
Bradmc: Keep up enjoying retirement. (If you call still working retired, God bless you) I'll see you at the next one
Wb: No other person I've ever met shows the level of generosity and kindness I've seen from you. Driving to 3fs at 11pm to get ZD and permanent funeral only for us to leave at 3am is just CRAZY!!!!! But I get why you do it! You got that lovin feeling......... Whoaaaa whoa whoa. Oooo.
Ryan Aloha: I'm glad to have had the chance to see you again and we have herfed in multy states and even countries! How freaking cool is that my man!?!?
Rob Skully: You're a great brother. I wish I lived closer to be able to help out with the restore of the "this old house". Take care of those kiddos!!!!!!
Andrew LPFB: Your intelligence is mind boggling bro! . Wether it be your knowledge of computer science or mind and body...... Please don't spy on me or my family!!!!!!!
Partied like its 1999 award: King Kill Doug! I didn't know you were that much of a party animal!?!? Holy shit Doug God bless your liver! (I'm sure mine isn't in any better shape after the last four days) You are a karaoke god!
Joel Smoqman: Good to see you again and thanks for the acoustic guitar advice. I'll be taking some time in the next few weeks to learn a couple notes and then I'm going shopping as advised.
To everyone else I'm forgetting at the moment. I will NEVER forget this Herf. You all allowed me a break in the hecticness of ever day life. THANK YOU!
