This is a masterful cigar, built and blended by the best. It’s bold and spicy, full of flavors from dark chocolate and cayenne, to clove and espresso. If cigars had a beauty contest it would be hard to imagine man contender that could beat this cigar. The wrapper looks good enough to eat and the band from MF are always exceptional. Nicotine strength on the Le Bijou is about a 7 or 8 out of ten, so stay away or smoke slow if you’re sensitive.

Draw superb with spicy, toasty notes with a brioche finish. Long ash and extremely high quality. Would recommend to a choice cigar enthusiast. The quality and value ratio can’t be beat.

I enjoyed a My Father Le Bijou 1922 Churchill for my recent anniversary and My Father did not disappoint. Presenting a creamy, earthy, woodsy profile along with a near perfect burn that lasted well over an hour. This vitola was excellent but I would love to try the others too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cigar to a novice or a seasoned enthusiast.

I really liked this cigar. La Opulencia was my favorite for quite some time, but after Lucas introduced me to this one, this easily is the best My Father.
