<br> Yes, but the main purpose for this group is for the discussion
<br> related to Herfs (gatherings in clubs, bars and homes on a local
<br> or national level for cigar smoking). This will reduce the
<br> traffic on ASC. Out of 1850 posts to ASC in the past 6 days,
<br> approximately 140 posts have related to Herfs or Crawls
<br> (gatherings for cigar smoking/discussion where attendees make the
<br> rounds of the local bars, clubs, restaurants, cigar retailers and
<br> cigar factories).
