My Father Le Bijou 1922

sightunseen

Three words describe this cigar: Spice, spice ,and spice. Who knew such a small cigar could be such a kick in the mouth? While I enjoyed the hell out of this stick, the spice was a tad too much for me. Full review is at wbfiller.com.

Have you had a Cuban Classic by DPG btw? How does it compare?

I found the Le Bijou to be much less spicy than the Cuban Classic. I was actually expecting much more spice from the Le Bijou. Both great sticks. Both powerhouses. 2 of my top 5 sticks, actually.

Weird, I found the Le Bijou to be spicier than the Cuban Classic. It's been a while since I've had a CC, so I might have to pick some up to refresh my palate.

I found this cigar rather mild and very bland. I love the look of it though.

You DO smoke Opus Xs for breakfast, haha. The Le Bijou's wrapper is gorgeous.

The Petite Robusto is one of my favorite sticks. Lasts around an hour, jam packed with flavor and complexity.

Had one and was entirely unimpressed. Actually, I smoked several from the My Father line and thought they all were pretty much exactly the same (not good). I put all of them out early as I recall. Funny thing is these get pretty good reviews from a lot of people - I think I smoked 2 of the My Father, one My Father Cedros Deluxe, and one Le Bijou. I figured that was giving the line a solid try and I definitely won't be buying more.

I've had the My Father and liked it better than the Le Bijou. I have a Cedros I plan on having tonight so I'll see how it compares. The Le Bijou was just too spicy for me.

Did you get to the Cedros, Tony?

I did and I didn't like it. Couldn't put a finger on why the flavors were so awful. I threw it away after smoking half of it. I'll stick with the original My Father, methinks

I was gifted one from bigfnsteve awhile back and I literally order a box of the petite robusto's mid smoke. These are in my top five favs now. Thanks Steve!

Petit Robusto is an amazing cigar. Smokes like a chimney but also has the complexity to get your brain moving. The dark sweet wrapper had me at hello.

I just got a second box for aging so I can smoke up the first one. These have become a regular for me, love them!

The Bijou Connie is pretty awesome.

Smoking a My Father Le Bijou box pressed torpedo. The construction is perfect but lack complexcity and round flavor and aroma. The harshness is also bothering me. I am not going to buy this again. A decent cigar but maybe not for me.
