This might or might not help at all. Anytime you see these vowels in a cigar you pronounce them like this:

a=ah
e=eh
i=ee
o= oh (but more like the "ul" sound in the word "pulse")
u= ou

for consonants there are a few main ones you need to know:

C-pronounced like a K in english, and in the middle of a sentence after a vowel it is pronounced like an S, but after a consonant it is pronounced like a K
H- has no sound. It's silent
J- is pronounced like the H in horse
L- one L by itself is pronounced like a normal L in english
LL- can be pronounced 2 ways and still be correct. 1. it is pronounced like the Y in yoyo or 2. it can be pronounced like a "J" in pajamas
x-is pronounced like the letter H in horse
ñ- N+Y

e.g. arturo fuente añejo= ahr-TOU-roh f-UEHN-teh ah-NYEH-hoh.
I capitalized certain letters because that's where the stress goes in the word. Sometimes there are exceptions to the rules. Sometimes you have 2 vowels next to each other that are pronounced like the second vowel like in the word queso but with other words they are pronounced seperately like in the word bueno. I hope this helps

I reference to the Weekend Blitz - Bahia - Is it Bah EEE yah or Bah EEE ahh?

Edit: Nevermind. I found an audio pronunciation. I still hear a Y sound. (english Y not spanish Y LOL) But I think it's just the sound of the transition between EEE and ahh.

Man, am I off, or your smoking crack. I have been saying Ba He uh. I always either find it funny or feel like a tard when I hear others say the names of cigars or find out how it’s supposed to be pronounced.

I know the feeling. Most of my experience is by online purchases and online education as I have lived virtually in the swamps for a long time now, so my pronunciation of cigar names is lacking. For a while I didn't realize that AVO was a guy's name. I went around saying A.V.O. just like CAO. Maybe that's why my uncle was giving me a bit of a funny look when I asked him to try "try an A.V.O." Maybe he knew better but didn't want to correct me in front of everybody else.

Here's a link to the audio pronunciation of Bahia I meant to include earlier. (Look for the little speaker icon beside the word Bahia to hear the audio.)

I found another dictionary with audio that sounded just like you wrote it. I guess it is a matter of interpretation.

CAO. I see it a lot at big cigar shops where the guys are talking about how much they know about cigars.
And when I say C - A - O? They give me that look. Sacrilege I say.

CAO are the initials of Cano A. Ozgener who, I believe, started the company.... But you already knew that, didn't you??? LOL
