Bahia Blu

I smoked this one on the deck while watching UFC 121 with Deron. I paired it with Bud Light and straight cut it.


The taste was nice and mellow and it burned cool. I have been struggling with this batch of cigars and this one was no exception. The wrapper cracked and split at about 1/2 way and got worse as I got closer to the nub.


I still enjoyed the cigar but am thinking that maybe a smaller size may have less issues.


Overall the cigar had a mellow taste that I enjoyed and it had a short finish. The mild taste lasted up to about 2 inches and it got a little peppery at that point. A perfect kick. It was a perfect cigar (except for some minor issues as I got down to the nub) and I am still calling this cigar one of my favorites.

From Cigars International:


Bahia Blu is a medium-bodied handmade from Nicaragua that’s priced to move. Dressed in a fairly attractive Corojo wrapper that’s smooth and glistening - under the hood is a blend of 5 to 6-year old long Nicaraguan long-fillers grown in Esteli, Jalapa, and Leon. The end result is a somewhat rich and toasty flavor with a sweet, cedary core, and crisp, lingering aftertaste. I’ve found a bit of a consistency issue from time to time but by and large a nice, everyday, handmade value.

Bahia Blu

The school Fall Fest was tonight and, after putting the little one to bed, I went out to the patio for a cigar by the fire.  It was a cold night and the first Fire Pit Friday that I had to wear a sweatshirt.  I popped open a Bud Light and V cut this cigar. The draw was nice and open so I lit it up. It immediately had a ton of smoke. The taste was nice and mellow and it burned cool. I have been struggling with this batch of cigars but it seems that some time in the humidor has done them well.

I like this cigar but I have struggle with each cigar I have smoked from this batch I bought on CigarBid.com.

I smoked this one on the deck while pairing with Bud Light. At first I gave it a V cut but the draw was too tight so I re-cut it and gave it a straight cut. The draw was better but still too tight. Barley any smoke came from this cigar in the first 2 thirds and it was work to smoke it.

The only saving grace was the nice mellow taste and the short finish. The was no horrible bubbling in the  wrapper like the last one I smoked. However, the draw was so tight that I tried to open it up with my pocket knife MANY times without much luck. So I straight cut it again (yes, a third cut) but up a little higher than the last cut. The draw was a little bit better but still not great.

Overall the cigar had a mellow taste that I enjoyed and had a short finish. The mild taste lasted up to about 2 inches and it got a little peppery at that point. At 2 inches it turned into a nice smoke with a lot more smoke. I thoroughly enjoyed it from 2 inches to the nub. A perfect kick. Nice cedar taste. The wrapper bubbled at the end.

I still love this cigar and especially in this torpedo size that I got from CigarBid.com.

I V cut this one and paired it with Wild Turkey and water on the rocks and smoked it on the patio while burning a fire. The draw was nice and open. This is a mild to medium cigar for me.

The one main issue I had with the cigar was that it bubbled and unraveled on me. I have since been told that this can occur when a cigar is over humidified. At first I thought that it was under humidified and that was causing the wrapper to peal and split. But a friend later told me that over humidification was the culprit and the water was trying to escape. It started almost immediately after lighting and got worse the entire time I smoked it. I enjoyed the cigar but it was a mess by the time I was done with it.

This cigar is still one of my favorites. I would like a bigger size though, I smoke these too fast.

This was the perfect cigar for me. Full but smooth. For me, it does not get better at $2.00 a stick, Loved it. Favorite cigar yet.
