Description
The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto is a tribute to legacy, complexity, and excellence. Created by Jaime Garcia in honor of his father, José “Don Pepin” Garcia, this full-bodied Nicaraguan puro has become a benchmark for aficionados seeking depth, richness, and precision in every draw.
Measuring 5⅝” x 55 (143mm x 21.8mm), the Grand Robusto showcases a rare, dark Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper that envelopes estate-grown Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Garcia family farms. It ignites with an opulent flavor profile: dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper, and cedar, unfolding into earthy sweetness and spice in a crescendo of complexity.
Impeccable construction ensures a smooth, even burn, firm ash, and voluminous smoke. Its accolades speak volumes—most notably being crowned Cigar Aficionado’s #1 Cigar of the Year in 2015 with a 97 rating. This cigar is not merely a smoke; it’s an experience of lineage, craftsmanship, and prestige.
