According to Tony Borhani, Bahia Blu is a full-bodied line. He says each cigar has a dark, oily, natural wrapper grown in León, Nicaragua, a town northwest of Managua, not far from the Pacific Ocean. The binder is grown in the northwestern part of Estelí, Nicaragua, one of the three traditional tobacco growing regions in Nicaragua, and one known for its strength. The filler is a blend of two Nicaraguan tobaccos, one from the same part of Estelí as the binder, the other from the Jalapa Valley, in northern Nicaragua near the Honduran border.
