They are currently on Free Fall. I have read they used to be pretty good but the quality has fallen off especially of the wrapper. Any thoughts on the Maduros? I am leaning on giving them a try.

For what you pay, they're decent enough. They got better over the years. Leave em sit a bit.

I only go for the maduros.

....they are smokeable. JUST an average smoke. I'm not a big fan of mild maduro's, and despite what the product details may say, this is a high mild maduro at best. Not bad for $1.50per, but their are plenty of 'better' $2 or less maduro options here to chose from like,

PADILLA MADURO

LA PERLA HABANA CLASSIC MADURO

CUBA ALIADOS MADURO (The only Reyes cigar I like, and happens to be my favorite go-to maduro in between my CAMACHO TRIPLE MADUROS, PUEBLO DOMINICANO'S, a PADILLA MIAMI EDICON LIM OSCURO. 20 can be won here for $40, most often less any day of the week. I highly recommend you give them a try)

also better then BAHIA are,

PERDOMO SLOW-AGED MADURO

REPOSADO '96 MADURO

5 VEGAS GOLD MADURO

5 VEGAS SERIE 'A'

5 VEGAS TRIPLE 'A'

EST.1844

LA PERLA HABANA BLACK PEARL

INDIAN TABAC MADURO & SUPER FUERTE MADURO

GURKHA DOBLE MADURO is simple a great smoke

GURKHA SPECIAL OPS

CURKHA CUBAN LEGACY

....OK...stop, stop, stop,..........OK...so their is little to no reason to smoke BAHIA MADURO unless you fancy mild maduros and only have $1.50per to spend to spend. Which are prefectly valid reasons. Does it pass my ultimate test? YES, meaning if I had nothing else to smoke, would I smoke it. Of course.

Bahia's all seem to have a musty scent to them.

It's not overwhelming, nor does it deter me from smoking them. It's just odd because it seems to be every line they make.

The Maduro are indeed mild. I just scored some trinidads as part of a multi brand sampler and I haven't had those in a while.

I remember when the original Bahia Gold first came out. It was a true premium in every way.

The brand now seems more like a cost effective decent smoke, which is OK by me. But I haven't had their Gold or Gold Maduro to say for certain.

Won a bundle of these, in the #2 torpedo, back in November '10. It was a "special auction" lot, starting at $29.99. Not a bad smoke, but very, very mild. Used them as a "truck" smoke, and couldn't wait to get through them.

Don't know who makes them now, but it's not Bohrani any more as far as I know. The new ones lack depth and complexity. A very well made, but mild smoke. Maybe a good morning smoke. The old, old ones were fantastic.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I passed on the Bahia on Free Fall but picked up Tauaje Havana IV, Olivia Serie V, San Cristobal, Jamie Garcia Reserva Especial and some Graycliff 1666 Double Espresso which I am interested in trying but hoping they are not a bust.

ALL the others you picked up on free fall are FAR better than the Bahia.

The ones I bought on free fall are much better cigars, yes. I was just interested in the Bahia was worth a shot. My feeling from these responses is no.
