My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo

The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo Box‑Pressed is a bold, beautifully crafted cigar that showcases one of the García family’s most celebrated Nicaraguan blends in a striking torpedo format. Measuring 6⅛ inches with a 52 ring gauge, it delivers a long, immersive 70–90 minute smoke for when you want depth, power and refinement in equal measure. Box‑pressed and dressed in the ornate My Father band with its distinctive black “Le Bijou 1922” secondary band, it looks every bit as luxurious as its reputation suggests.

Blended as a tribute to José “Pepín” García’s father, born in 1922, Le Bijou (“the jewel”) is wrapped in a dark, oily Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro leaf over Nicaraguan binder and fillers, all grown on the family’s own farms. Construction is typically impeccable: the box‑press sits firm yet comfortable in the hand, with an easy, open draw, even burn and dense, creamy smoke that underline the cigar’s premium pedigree. This Torpedo was conceived to deliver the full My Father experience – intensity, complexity and a long, satisfying finish – in a shape that focuses and concentrates the blend.

My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo Tasting Notes

Initial Third:
Opens at medium‑to‑full body with a surge of black pepper on the palate and retrohale, quickly joined by notes of espresso, dark cocoa and rich earth. A subtle underlying sweetness – think molasses and dried fruit – balances the spice, while hints of leather and toasted grain begin to emerge.

Middle Third:
The profile deepens and rounds out as the pepper softens slightly and the core flavours of dark chocolate, coffee and earth become more integrated. Accents of roasted nuts, savoury baking spice and a touch of anise appear, adding layers of complexity, while the strength settles firmly into full‑bodied territory without losing its composure.

Final Third:
Flavours concentrate into bold espresso, cocoa husk and charred oak, with a more pronounced leather and mineral edge. Occasional flashes of sweetness – caramelised sugar and dark dried fruit – play against the lingering pepper and earth, creating a long, resonant finish that stays on the palate well after the last draw.

Aroma:
Expect a rich, room‑filling aroma of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, cedar and pepper, underpinned by that unmistakable My Father earthiness and a faint, smoky sweetness.

This is an excellent choice for experienced smokers who enjoy full‑bodied Nicaraguan cigars with real structure and complexity, and is best suited to an unhurried evening with a strong espresso, aged rum or a robust whisky.
