Hey Ruthrat,
I usually take a few out of the humidor from home as i have never seen a shop selling any Cubans althouh Original_Mitch seems to have found some. However, i have had a number of the local Indonesian cigars and ones from the Phillipines that are not bad and serioulsy cheap. Would only smoke half or so of a robusto as they can get a bit harsh but that said they are not too bad if you can put up with the generally young tobacco. I have taken some home and kept in the humidor but ended up with a bug investation.
Am going back in 3 weeks and will have a closer look for international brands as tobacco is cheap in Indo due to low taxes. Would be nice to get a cabinet for half the price in Australia.
Later.
