Trying My Dad's Favorite Cigar - Le Bijou 1922 Robusto

Winning Cigar of the Year in 2015 for its torpedo vitola, the My Father Le Bijou 1922 line is a force to be reckoned with. When explaining the background of Le Bijou, Cigar Aficionado puts it best:

“The date 1922 denotes the birth year of José Garcia, the father of José ‘Pepin’ Garcia. Le Bijou means ‘the jewel’ in French. And this cigar is emblematic of all the Garcia family has achieved.
Pepin started as a roller in Cuba before emigrating to Miami and eventually opening up a tiny rolling gallery in Little Havana. Commercial and critical acclaim for his cigars allowed expansion into Nicaragua.

Today, Pepin, Jaime, and Janny Garcia lead My Father Cigars, and their factory in Estelí produces millions of cigars a year.”
