O blend não é igual da linha tradicional, acho que por ser novo, precisa de uns 6 meses de guarda no humidor. Mas é bem agradável pra quem gosta de tabaco forte, vale a pena envelhecer

Really notice a drastic difference in the flavors. I’ve smoked a lot of Le Bijou, usually the petite robusta but a lot of the robusta, toro, and torpedo too. The flavor isn’t wildly different here, but the size does change things a little. I’m a big fan of a 48 ring gauge cigar, and this blend in this size was done very well. Sometimes I find the smaller gauge leads to more power from the wrapper, but sometimes, as is the case it’s this 100 Anos, the smaller gauge seems to be cause to use less ligers in the filler for combustion purposes. I think that may be what the Garcia did with this one, as it has a little less heat than some of the other sizes, so long as you smoke it slow. Glad I grabbed a fiver of these!
