I used to sell Bahia cigars a long time ago. I recently tried to order some of the Bahia Golds, but was unable to reach the company. I have no idea if they're even still around or not. |

Re: Whats the deal with Bahia Cigars?
Back when I smoked a lot of NCs along with CCs I really enjoyed Bahia, especially when he had master blender Don Douglas on the payroll (I beleive he retired). They ceased being anything to write home about a long time ago IMO. He had an area as large as Rocky at RTDA one year and then he had a little tiny booth a few years later. Sometimes the cigar business is like that. You are on top one day and on the bottom the next. The loss of Don Douglas played a huge part IMHO.

I believe that the "good ones" that used to get rave reviews years ago were made in Costa Rica but they no longer are produced in that country.

Re: Whats the deal with Bahia Cigars?
Bahia cigars were good back in the day (the 90's cigar boom). I had a cigar shop owner recently tell me that Bahia put cuban tobacco in his cigars but was later busted and had to change the formula...thus the decline.

Re: Whats the deal with Bahia Cigars?
I smoked a Bahia Icon at my local B&M a month or so ago and it was a nice mild-ish cigar. It was something close to a 60 rg and just packed full of tobacco. Very even burn and a smooth, creamy profile if I'm remembering correctly. I didn't care for the giant rg but I suppose that's just a personal preference.
