My Father Le Bijou 1922 is a rich, full-bodied cigar featuring a Habano Oscuro wrapper and a healthy mix of Nicaraguan long-fillers, delivering a robust array of flavors in a remarkably smooth fashion. The blend is Nicaraguan from top to bottom, showcasing Cuban-seed wrappers that the Garcia family calls oscuro. This cigar earned an impressive 97-point rating and Cigar of the Year honors in 2015, with reviewers noting "It takes a profound understanding of cigar tobaccos to create a smoke that conveys uncanny impressions of dark chocolate-covered raisins, savory leather and a sweet-and-salty finish that resonates on the palate."
The original My Father brand was created by Jaime Garcia to honor his father, Pepin. A year later, Pepin decided to honor his own father with an offshoot brand called My Father Le Bijou 1922. Le Bijou is French for "the jewel," and 1922 refers to the year that José "Pepín" García's father was born. My Father Le Bijou 1922 hails from celebrated father-and-son cigar-makers Jose 'Pepin' Garcia and Jaime Garcia in Estelí, Nicaragua. Pepin started as a roller in Cuba before emigrating to Miami and eventually opening up a tiny rolling gallery in Little Havana. Today, Pepin, Jaime and Janny Garcia lead My Father Cigars, and their factory in Estelí produces millions of cigars a year.
This full-bodied masterpiece delivers potent notes of leather, earth, espresso beans, and dark cocoa that command the senses with layers of spice from beginning to end. Master blender tasting notes describe "rich flavors of dark chocolate, dark cocoa, spices, espresso, leather, and earth that allure the palates." Despite rapid growth, the family still takes great care in producing cigars of quality and distinction, with this cigar having an ideal combination of power and finesse.
