Bahia Blu B500 is a one-of-a-kind cigar that has, since its introduction several years ago, changed the way we look at value cigars. The Bahia Cigar Company has become a name synonymous with a seemingly unmatched value to quality ratio. For about half the price of the average premium cigar, Bahia churns out sticks that are in every way comparable to some of the most well-known names on today's market. Bahia Blu is where it all started. Made by hand in Nicaragua, Bahia Blu is a premium blend of fillers from some of Nicaragua's top growing regions, including Esteli, Jalapa, and Leon, all aged 5-6 years and nestled inside a spicy Nicaraguan binder. A smooth Corojo wrapper leaf finishes the package, giving Bahia Blue the appearance of a high-end Nicaraguan puro. High end? Well, the flavors are, anyway. The price tag, not so much!
Sold in bundles and dressed with simple blue bands, Bahia Blu looks like something you would buy in a gift shop at some fancy beach resort in the Caribbean. The construction is not bad at all, usually offering a medium draw and plenty of smoke. The overall flavor profile is based on a rich, earthy core with intense woody undertones. Chocolate, nuts, and citrus linger in the background, and a small blast of white pepper sits on the finish. This isn't the most complex flavor bouquet, but boy is it tasty!
Like most bundled cigars, Bahia Blu is a popular choice for both beginners and connoisseurs alike, and for different, but good reasons. To a beginner, Bahia Blu will taste phenomenal. The price tag adds to its allure as well. To a connoisseur that has a well-developed palate, Bahia Blu might not be mind-blowing, but it makes for a heck of an everyday knock around smoke. Let's face it; nobody wants to spend $500 a week smoking nothing but premiums every day. For those "in-between" times, Bahia Blu is an economical and very practical solution. This B500 size is a 5 x 50 robusto that smokes fast and clean, never getting too hot. Bahia Blu is medium-bodied and pairs well with beer or whiskey. Similar sticks include Flor de Oliva Corojo and Rocky Patel Edge Corojo. One of the most popular bundle cigars on today's market, Bahia Blu B500 continues to impress cigar freaks the world over.
