The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Toro is an award-wining cigar, officially voted an incredible #6 on the prestigious Cigar Journal’s “Finest 25 Cigars of 2011” list. There are many reasons for this, but the Toro bold, hearty full-body profile has to be one of the biggest. Packed with a spicy Nicaraguan binder, wrapped with a sleek, dark Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro leaf, and packed with perfectly-aged Nicaraguan long-fillers, the Le Bijou 1922 is a real treat.

Initial Thoughts: I grabbed this cigar with high expectations. I’ve seen people brag about the My Father Le Bijou for months, and I gave the My Father El Centurion a CigarScore of 5.
The Le Bijou smelled under-aged before I lit it, but after a half-inch in, the flavors were wonderful. The draw is smooth, the flavors a little creamy, and the aroma is practically perfect.
