Overview

'The Jewel' of the My Father portfolio.

My Father Le Bijou features a brilliant looking Ecuadorian-grown Habano Oscuro wrapper that encapsulates a mix of Nicaraguan long-leaf tobaccos for a full-bodied and rich experience that will leave your palate salivating for more.

All cigars produced at Tabacalera My Father incorporate traditional Cuban characteristics, from the entubado style bunching (folding the filler tobaccos in an accordion fashion) to the triple caps used at the head of each cigar. These traditional Cuban methods enable the cigars to burn and combust perfectly which, in turn, creates intense amounts of complexity followed by a smooth and enjoyably long finish.

If you enjoy spicy, full-bodied cigars then you should give Le Bijou a try as it is masterfully balanced. Expect long notes of pepper and spice with underlying earthy, cedar sensations all masked with light hints of sweetness. The rich and dark Habano Oscuro wrapper creates an excellent aroma with enjoyable flavors of coffee and espresso noticeable on the finish.

Best Cigar
Hands down the bets cigar I have ever had. Great body, even burn, constant all the way through. I normally don't smoke cigars past the band, but I couldn't resist with this beauty! HIGHLY Recommend.

IMO, not quite the best of 2015.
I'm new to the cigar game, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt, but the MF Le Bijou 1922 was a little bitter for my taste. I bought two because I thought "if it's the best, I want enjoy it more than once." Well, though they were horrible, I'd still take a Rockey Patel Decade, Cohiba Red Dot, or Gurkha Centurion over the Bijou any day. Again, I've been smoking cigars regularly for just over a month, so I may not have acquired the taste yet, so don't take me too seriously if you've been at it for a while.

Expectations dashed
Maybe my expectations were too high but I was very disappointed in this cigar. It burned very unvenly for the first two inches, and the smoke was harsh without any real flavor. Then it built up my hopes for a couple of minutes with a nice burn and complex, smooth taste. Hopes were soon dashed as it got harsh again and returned to burning unevenly. When it went out soon after I cut my losses and gave up.

A very good Cigar
The test is good and burn nice with a easy flow. The reason I give it four stars is that 3 out 11 that I got the wrapper broke or loosening up

Very nice smoke.
Good start through to the finish. A bit too costly. Like some of the AJ cigars as much for less money.

Not What I'd Consider a Top Cigar, Much Less the Best for 2015.
Huge disappointment. Nothing exceptional about the taste to me, uneven draw, and worse, I had to relight the stick several times. Yes, I keep my cigars in a humidor at the right level, and I even dry boxed this for two or three days before lighting up.Maybe I just got a bad stick, but hard to believe this was rated 2015 Cigar of the Year.

Great Cigar
I love anything the My Father line does, Le Bijou is no exception. It was right there with Flor de Antilles. I will have to have another before I decide which i prefer but a great buy for sure!

Might be my new favorite smoke!
So I have been dying to try this stick for some time now. Today my wife surprised me with an anniversary present 5-pak along with a bottle of The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old Single Malt scotch--- (but that's another review :) ) Normally I let my cigars age for several weeks or more before lighting them up--- but I just couldn't resist and had to smoke one ROTT. Holy cow-- what a great smoke--full bodied but very well balanced- the draw was firm but not tight and the burn was just perfect. I smoked this to the nub and it got better and better as it went- this was about a 45 min smoke on a cool breezy October night and was a great compliment to the scotch. -- if you're on the fence with this stick...GTF off! These are far too good to wait as long as I did before trying.

Simply great--complex and refined.
This cigar stars off with the signature blast of pepper everyone has come to associate with Pepin. It has a cedar quality with pepper on the front end, and a caramel sweetness that reappears off and on. In the final third it remains consistent and the pepper turns to cayenne. As an experiment my wife and I side by sided this Vitolo with the Pepin Blue in toro grande. I expected to develop a preference, but both cigars went head to head, each in their own style and way. While this smoke appears more full bodied, it is not. They are equal in strength but deliver it completely differently. This smoke is more angular and spicy, while the blue was creamier, rounder and presented a oaky woodiness as opposed to cedar. We couldn't decide a preference but concluded that they are both just fabulous smokes in their own ways. We need more of both in our humidor!

Excellent
These cigars are smooth. They have a nice calm flavor to them. They aren't harsh at all. They taste great. I love my father cigars and these so far are my favorite from them. I love the quality in which you take care of your cigars. They are delivered on time and fresh. They are sealed nicely in a custom bag accompanied with a humidor pouch. Wonderful service everytime. Thank you.

Le Bijou and Flor de las Antilles
Le Bijou.... always a treat! This was my second box of Flor de las Antilles and they were somewhat disappointing: varied in flavor and strength quite a bit. The first box I bought were great.

Customer Testimonials
Smoked both Toro and Petite Robusto. All age well and have a full taste, with dark chocolate, coffee and perhaps a bit of molasses. Spice too but it doesn't bite back. Strength is good but not overwhelming. I prefer with an aged rum or bourbon to add some sweetness. Very nice.
I got these on a deal special and fired one up. Let Me tell ya these Cigars are Awesome. Very thick meaty and flavorful smoke engulfs Your palete. diffenately on my top five list of Best Cigars ever. I didn't want it to end.
Received one as a cigar of the month member. Construction was flawless as was the draw. Burn was a little uneven however required no touching up. Complex flavors with hints of coffee and chocolate and never became bitter even right down to the nub. I have since purchased a box and this is a regular cigar in my rotation.
I have recently gotten back into smoking cigars, and have eased back in with a lot of CT wrappers. This cigar was my first initial step back into the darker wrappers. I have always had mixed results with darker wrappers as some are very enjoyable, and some can peel bark off of trees. This cigar, is amazing! I can not explain to you how smooth this cigar was. It was such a pleasure to smoke, I have started saving all of my spare change to get a box. The coffee and molasses flavors lasted throughout, and I can not remark enough about the craftsmanship. This is a beautiful cigar, and I urge you to give it a go if you haven't already.

Why He Likes It: My Father Le Bijou 1922 is one of the finest blends from Tabacalera My Father.  This beauty is draped in a flawless Ecuadorian-grown Habano Oscuro wrapper, which imparts succulent notes of cedar, earth, and spice. From start to finish, this blend is complex and satisfying—like father, like son.

Petit Robusto (4.5"x50) What a flavor bomb! If you're searching for that hearty, full-bodied maduro that gives off a rich character with little sweetness, then pick up this size. The short and stout 4.5"x50 frame allows for an effortless draw that exudes tons of thick smoke with many competing complexities that swirl around your palate. Many peppery, spicy flavors are present from head to foot while the finish is rich and full. A great, well blended cigar.

Churchill (7.0"x50) Perfect for those looking for that spicy Pepin flavor and expect at least 90 minutes of enjoyment. The size burns long and stead but slowly picks up in strength, providing a light, medium body up front before transitioning into a heavier character. The finish is very long with very little to offer in terms of sweetness.

Toro (6.0"x52) If you prefer a maduro with more sweetness than pepper or spice, then go with the Toro size in this line. Although you'll get the same hearty aftertaste found in the other sizes, the Toro leaves sweeter nuances on your palate and finish. The blend varies in complexity from head to foot with an emphasis on richness rather than spice. Enjoyable.
