What does HIM stand for?
- Ville's comments on this issue (from Soundi 6-7/2001):
Well, sometimes I wish that we’d picked other name for the band than HIM. The name constantly pisses me off. It’s utterly terrible! HIM! The upside is that it doesn’t actually mean anything, there are just three letters which are pronounced similarily in basically every language. It’s practical.
In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can’t even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot, we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn’t have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke. And it was our protest to Haile Selassie’s rastafarian religion, he used to be called His Imperial Majesty. But nowadays because of Linde’s hair, we actually might be supporting him.

HIM (his infernal majesty)
the best band ever, their lead singer is ville valo, their from finland and they sing love metal. Their symbol is the heartagram and they kick lots of ass

Branded the most expensive cigar on the market, His Majesty's Reserve, made by Gurkha, is the most premium cigar one can buy. The price for one of these is $750 per cigar or $14,999.95 for a box of twenty, though I have been told from many sources that you can only buy a limit of 3 per order because Gurkha only makes 100 boxes per year.
Cigar Aficionado #1: Hey man what are you smokin?
Cigar Aficionado #2: A Gurkha- His Majesty's Reserve.
Cigar Aficionado #1: Damn! That most have cost a lot!
Cigar Aficionado #2: You bet your ass it did! Worth every penny!
