The only sticks you will find in stores and Duty-Free shops are Hoya De Nicaragua. All others are rolled in a Free-Trade zone and made for export only. 99% of production are made for American consumption, so there is nothing you will find there that you cannot buy in the US.

As far as I know, factories don't even sell anything to you. You will be handed plenty of free cigars, however.

Avoid buying any Cuban, because all of them are counterfeited.

Agree with JohnE1000.  I have been to Esteli many times and if you're looking for sticks you can't find in the USA, you're only going to run across no-name cigars not worth smoking (flor de bologna short fillers).  Shoot me a pm if you have any questions.
