"Brand seems to be going downhill"
I've been smoking Bahia's since '95, when the Vintage 92's came out. (Those were some great gars!)
When the Golds originally came out, they were likewise a great smoke: great construction, nice draw, and that special Bahia aroma. I've been smoking them off and on for several years, but over the last 2 years, I'e noticed a serious decline in quality. Interestingly, the timeline of comments posted here seems to reflect that decline. I'd love to see Borhani make another run
at resurrecting that original "special" Bahia
flavor and aroma, but I fear the Golds's best days
are behind it.
