Bahia gold from 1979

[Farringtonr]

I got one does anyone know anything about this cigar. It's from 1979 and is the Bahia gold. Also whats its worth

 

[MU Mike]

1979? Not sure about that. Tony Borhani created the Bahia line during the boom and I think he and his cigars had a checkered/controversial history over the years.

Bahia wasnt founded until 1995 I think....

Certainly wasnt around in the 1970's... I think you have your dates a little messed up...

I think several years ago they used to have a "vintage" line.. where they were using some tobaccos from the 1980's...

but Im almost 100% certain the stick you have wasnt rolled in 79...

The vintage has a 1988 wrapper. Bahia Gold was introduced in 1997 and then completely re-blended in 2003. I used to enjoy them from time to time a long time ago.

i remember the gold and old maduro from like 98, good stuff! i think, my CRS is acting up.

to the OP, have you smoked them, and do YOU like them?

I mean 1997. What would it be worth for 1 stick in very good condition

The original release was a white band and was a decent smoke at the time. Not sure how well they aged. What is it worth? A sixteen year old off label Dominican? What ever a willing buyer will pay. $5 bucks. I dunno.

Agree that the originals rolled by DDouglas in Costa Rica were good. Once they moved production, they just weren't the same. I still have a half dozen or so in the corona size. They're worth whatever someone's willing to pay but I wouldn't say these would be worth anything over whatever msrp was on em at the time. G1

Solid investment.

With inflation of the dollar over 16 years I would guess $1.25 shipped! :ccowboy:

Farring who cares what's its worth I say you just light it, enjoy it. Then give us all a review on it so we can have knowledge incase one of us stumble upon it in the future. Just my opinion.

Cheers,
JM

Hey MU,

I'm new here also and I know there is alot of etiquette that alot of people don't get. I was shocked by how we interact and I looked into alot of threads to get an understanding of it.
I'm sure Farring will learn. I do get where you are coming from cause it comes across as an attempt to just make money rather then the society we have amongst our brothers.

Cheers,
JM

My post was in reference to the cigar, not the original poster.

 

[jmartins]

Oh fair enough. I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful in any way either. I can see your a regular here and have spent alot of time here.

I'm just speaking from the side of being a noob and being curious about everything that is all.

Cheers,

I'm just saying a guy tried to make that the center piece of the deal for 2 pounds of hf beads. I was just seeing if he was trying to rip me off
