Whenever someone I know is travelling abroad and they're willing to bring me back some cigars, I hit google and search for cigar stores and/or tobacconists in the city(s) where they'll be. If I find a good website, I do some reading on what they have, compare it to what I'd like and make some choices.

I've even been known to make a quick long distance phone call to ask about pricing and availability if they don't have that info on their website. But for a place as far away as South Africa, I'd probably stick to email or using the website "Contact Us" link to ask questions.

If there are a lot of cigar stores in the city I try my best to find a couple that are real close to where they're staying and provide an address, phone number and even directions.
