I will be in New Orleans for that weekend. Let me know if anyone's around. I'd love to burn one down in the beautiful city.

Hollar at Todd (engle). He isn't too far from there.

Bluewater also is close I think.

Post it over on the Missfishinherf thread.

Look up glassken too. He doesn't post here much, but he's a great botl. I've had the pleasure of talking with him on the phone a couple of times after he sent some smokes my way while deployed.

On the 14th our local is having an Oliva event (starting around 6 I think) in Biloxi, MS it's about an hour and 10-45 depending on traffic from NOLA. If you can't make it over I'll see if we can get a few folks to head over there. Armando's shop in the quarter on Orleans would be a great place to meet up.

Blu and Big_bear are close as well.

I was going to try and make it over this weekend but I got sick, so now I'll be working on Sat and Sun. Bear and Blu can't make it? I'll talk to Todd tomorrow night at the Oliva event and see if he'll join you.

I like Crescent City Cigars (Armando's shop) only place to pick up Viaje, Pepin and Tat's in Quarter.

Weeeeeeeellllllll I got into NOLA last night with my friends around 11pm. We entered Bourbon Street with some drinks in hands...we were kind of nervous since we were carrying open containers. while walking past the first block - where there was a random jazz band playing - we saw a bunch of seemingly college kids drinking Four Locos and walking by police officers.

That was basically the turning point of the night. Couple of my friends disappeared into one of the many "show" joints, some ran off into the casino, and 4 of my friends and I decided to walk down as far as possible.

I think I had a hurricane something that tasted like death...and the long sippy cups...and the drinks with fire...

I liked the bar with the two pianos. Reminded me of Jake Ivory's in Boston that closed down years ago.

Going to Crescent City Cigars, and maybe Cigar Factory to try some freshies, unless you guys know differently that they are tourist traps.

drank a hand grenade, a four loco, 3 for 1 beer (?! waaaat), cruzan slurry, and it's not even 730.

went to Armando's. He was a cool guy. Also had 2 boxes of Viaje S&Bs, which I ran to. He laughed, since they were completely empty. ass!
