Bahia Maduro Panchos

Tony Borhani, Founder of Bahia cigars, takes his business as serious as you possible can. Because of Tony's personal quest for depth of knowledge, he set off on a three-year exploration around Central and South America meeting growers, rollers, and master blenders, studying their methods and styles, allowing him to expand his horizons on cigar making and appreciation. Tony combines his knowledge of traditional production techniques with new ideas and secret methods that extend the art of processing, curing, aging and rolling the aromatic leaf. He has dedicated his life to the creation of the finest selection of cigars from around the world and heightening the pleasure and satisfaction of cigar smoking. Tobacco used for all Bahia cigars is grown at the best plantations in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and Ecuador and processed under the control, supervision and methods of Tony Borhani and Don Douglas. The Bahia Maduro line featured this month is a real treat. Rolled with the finest Connecticut Shade broadleaf wrapper which marries perfectly with an all Dominican filler and binder, this cigar has earned the highest reviews everywhere it’s rated. Current production of this blend does not exceed 300,000 cigars a year. This is another one, we just know you’re gonna love!

Start of by admiring this dark, slightly oily maduro wrapper. We found the panchos to be rolled exceptionally well, living up to the Bahia name. A substantial robusto in the hand. Look for an even burn and easy draw. You’re in for a full bodied experience. We picked up strong earthy tones and some cedar in this robust cigar. Each panel member smoked this gem either to the band or the nub! Overall, it may not be a Cuban, but in our book, it comes close to that Habanos satisfaction we all crave. Pair it up with a tawny port or peaty singly malt scotch.
