Filler: Nicaraguan. Binder: Nicaraguan. Wrapper: Nicaraguan. Bahia Gold was first introduced in June 1997. Tony Borhani and Don Douglas took two full years to develop the Bahia Gold. This blend represents the smallest production of Bahia Cigars totaling 220,000 cigars last year. The filler and the binder for this cigar come from a very small farm in the Dominican Republic, the wrapper represents the best Ecuador has to offer. These cigars were aged 12 months after they were rolled. The ligero has received a third fermentation prior to rolling. This full bodied, strong cigar showcases the other style of cigar making, using Dominican tobacco.
