My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo 6 1/8″ x 52

My Father named Le Bijou 1922 for the year Don Pepín García’s father was born, the name itself meaning the jewel in French. The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo is a Nicaraguan puro under a dark Habano wrapper, box-pressed into a tapered figurado at full strength.

Blended by Don Pepín García, it leans full from the first inch. The flavor usually runs to black pepper, espresso, and dark chocolate over a leathery, earthy base. The 6 1/8 by 52 torpedo has a tapered head that sharpens the draw and concentrates the first third.

The pointed cap takes a straight or V cut, and the full body suits a later, slower sit. It is stocked as singles or boxes of 23, so a single is a low-commitment first try. A bold Nicaraguan torpedo for an unhurried evening.

Pairs well with bourbon, espresso, or tawny port.
