From Pueblo Bonito Hotel, Emerald Bay, Mazatlan.
Gonna make this short and sweet.
I was able to find an R and J at a little shop where an American Restaurant owner (Shrimp Factory) said is the place to go. Got a #3 tubo for 75 pesos (about $7). Would have rather had a #1, but beggars can't be choosers. It seems reasonable to me that it would be rather difficult to fake the tubo itself. It looked, tasted and kicked just like one I had been gifted recently.
The prices seem to be roughly what I could (theoretically) get them for back home so I've had enough for now. Besides, I brought my own anyway. I'll bring the tubo and band back with me and post a photo for your scrutiny.
A quick side note...
BeatDragon and his lady stopped into my restaurant Sat. night on my last evening in the US. We got a little pickled. He tipped like a madman and my bro the manager let us light some up on the deck. I through my barback to the wolves inside and just sat, BSed, smoked and drank with the 2 of them. Very cool!!!
Well, gotta go. I'll be home late tonight. Probably stop back in here tomorrow some time.
Take it easy everyone.
Adios
