I was in your city for the first time in January and found a cool new B&M in the French Quarter called Smoke on the Water. Have you been there? I really enjoyed it and went there 3 times during my stay. Great selection of sticks - many I can't find in this area.

Also, I got taken on that stupid "bet I can tell you where you got your shoes" bit when I was smoking a cigar and drinking a coffee outside Cafe du Monde

I have not been there or even heard about it, I'll have to check them out!

And...on your feet on the street in NOLA of course!

Hope you didn't pay the guy. That has to be the dumbest street scam, and they get pissed if you don't take it as a serious bet. Most of those "hustlers" are harmless, but they know most tourists and visitors don't want any trouble with street people. I had a guy walk next to me for a block, trying a few of those on me, and when I jumped on his punchlines, he tried to get me to pay him royalties for taking his material. I told him I'd give him a dollar for making me laugh. He acted all insulted, like he wouldn't take it. Of course he took it, though. I legitimately love NOLA, one of my absolute favorite cities in the US to visit.

You know, I ended up being out $7 to get him to go away. At first he wanted $20 "$10 for the line, $10 for the shine" was what he said. I forgot that he squirted some sort of weird lotion on my shoes and started shining them. And I was wearing tennis shoes. I meant to pull out a dollar from my wallet and accidently pulled out a $5. Once that happened he wasn't leaving until he got the fiver and then some.

I loved my time in NOLA too. Was there for a work conference and then stayed for 1.5 more days. Would love to go back and this time take my wife! Now I'm smarter on this line thing. There should be some sort of public announcement when you get off the plane at the NOLA about this!

I had heard of this store, just not by name, but by what had happened. http://www.wdsu.com/news/local-news/...water/31014554
