klembak and klobot cigarettes
Explanation:
Highly suggest to keep the Indonesian name, with the English description in brackets:

klobot (cigaretes wrapped in dry corn husk) and klembak (cigarettes made from tobacco, cloves and benzoin tree).

Therefore, you are not losing the specific Indonesian taste.

(For example, if India's Roti Prata is translated as Pancake... we'll lose the Indian uniqueness...)
