Not if it was imported which I'm pretty sure it would be.
I've never seen a tobacco store down here. Have you considered online shopping?

Unfortunately, Mexico has one of the highest taxes of any country in the world on imported tobacco and spirits. They have a strict limit on what you
can bring into the country. If you do try to sneak a sizable amount in, best of luck. But in any case, you will not find lower prices down there. I do
know of a hookah bar in Cabo that may have the widest selection.

I have a standing order to bring pipe tobacco down every time I go to the US, for a Mexican friend here in Loreto. I don't know where you can get it
in BCS.
