try a search for Cattail. I think that's what you're decribing but they aren't mature for several more months.

A friend of mine said she saw them at the Street Rd. flea market. Someone selling incense had them.

The Vermont Country Store sells them on line and through their catalog.

We used to call punks those long string bean looking fruit that comes from the catalpa tree. Some people call it a cigar tree. There are plenty of the trees around here. Here is a link with a photo of a tree bearing the fruit.

Try a head shop like Artifax, they probably have them.

used to get them at Bregman's Pharmacy on the corner of Tyson and Whittaker. However, that was in 1965.
