Hey, I'm from the middle of nowhere in Iowa, where in the State is this farmhouse?

Outside Wyoming, IA see the map below.

i'm a noob here and would like to say this thread is great, i haven't been around much but its threads like these that will draw us in and keep us at a site.

i could have found all this stuff using the search, but it's great to just read it in one thread... thanks very much

loudpipes, this middle of no where iowa isn't around Pella is it? just wondering cause that's where i am and i can vouch that its a beautiful area

smokindvm where are you from? anywhere near the town of tulips?

Mapquest from Pella to the town near my Grandma's Farm

My wife and I drove from Chicago to Cedar Falls and back when we were up there for a wedding in September, beautiful country just 5 hours of corn fields gets a bit repetitive

[boomshay]

I have never been the kind of guy who makes friends easily, or is really comfortable sticking out in a crowd.....kinda try to blend in. I have trust issues from some things that happened to me in my youth, but no cry-babying about it, I wouldn't be the man I am now if I had not had those experiences, so all is good in the end.

I chose to participate in this forum cuz it is smaller, and when I made a mistake on my first post, I apologized and tried again, and I think maybe I am accepted here, at least no-one has told me to fuck-off yet.

I have been educated by memebers of this forum not only in regards to cigars, but in forum etiquette and respect. I have also realized that the shared experiences we all have with cigars can create a bond that bridges any gap that may exist between our social, economic, or professional standings.

Well I’m glad I joined, happy to be making new friends, hope they become good friends, and I also hope I can bring some smiles to others as well. Alright enough of that sappy sh*t time to go to my man room and have a smoke and scotch.

I second your thoughts, Quint!!

Like what a lot of other poeple have mentioned, your taste change as you smoke longer. I had Partagas Spanish Rosada when i first started out smoking, and hated it. Couple of months later, i was hearing people talking about how it was a great cigar. So i decided to give it a second chance, and what would you know, i fell in love with the cigar. Dont automatically count out a cigar that you did not like, when you have one had it once. Just wait for a while, and try it agian, and who knows, you might change your mind

Grew up in Marshalltown. Visited Pella many times, mostly for football games and such, still have cravings for Pella Bologna sometimes, can't really find it outside of Iowa.

Pella Bologna

Never had a Muscatine melon, but I sure miss Millers sweet corn that we used to buy from the back of their truck in the Hy-Vee parking lot in Ankeny.
The sweet corn out here is crap.
