My little brother's wife is half Filippino. Her mom was born and raised there and they have plenty of family there including an uncle who owns a resort on a lovely little island off the main one. Little brother and his wife have been there once (to her uncle's resort) and last year his mother-in-law brought him back a box of
Flor de Filipinas - Londres 5.5 ", gauge 42 If memory serves me, they were a decent cigar. Medium body with a good flavor. It's been a while though since I had one.
If you're interested, the following website gives some detailed information on the most popular brands they have.

They will ship to Canada, and I suspect to the US too if you find yourself interested enough. I'd order a box or two myself but the taxes here are killer so I'm going to wait patiently......lol........little brother's mother-in-law goes quite regularly to visit family and I believe she's going this year. Next time she does we're going to get her and her ol'man to bring back 4 boxes of cigars, one each of a different brand.
I will definitely let you know what I think when I have one....I may just have one tonight. If not tonight, then certainly this weekend!
