    Talking Newbie Intruduction

    Hey all! I just wanted to drop a line and say hi! I have been a cigar smoker for about a year or just under now. I happened to be surfing the internet and stumbled into this site.

    Look forward to me poking my head around here!

    Take care All!

    Hi SW,

    I see you're from West Des Moines, I'm originally from the Des Moines area.

    I hear the city is growing by leaps and bounds on the west side.

    Do you still have the option of sitting in a smoking section at the restaurants?

    Anyway, Welcome to CS.

    Welcome to the site. There's a great group of guys here.

    Hi All! I definitely jumped into developing a good full bodied preference. My most recent smoke was last night and I tried a Padron, I think it was the 6000 series if I remember right. I will have to ck the ole smoke book to make sure. For a medium bodied stick it really wasn't too far off of being a full bodied smoke.

    I will have to jump out on to a wine thread here. That is where a lot of my knowledge can be useful. I am still a cigar novice, but definitely enjoying it. I am on the market for a 100 or 150 stick Humi.

    And YES, the Des Moines Metro area is absolutely BOOMING! I have many more girls to choose from that I am not related to. Actually I am a transplant from Minneapolis of about 4 years now. I like it here, plenty to do and still some nice people around here.

    Gotta run for a bit. I will ck back often!!!!

    Welcome to the board. I'd be curious what are some good wines to have with a full bodied cigar? I've been wanting to try new things.
