Definitely one of the best new cigars I have tried. Only smoked the Petit Robusto, but I love it. I smoked another last night.

I got a box from Cigars International. I think it was only around $150 a box. Pretty reasonable.

Definitely better than the regular My Fathers, which were already good smokes!

I agree with it being better than the original release. Great stick for sure, I need to grab more!

The Le Bijou was blended by Pepin himself in honor of his father, hence the 1922. Thats the year his old man was born. The wrapper Pepin told me is a double oscuro wrapper, thats what gives it its rich dark color. Another great cigar by the Garcia Family!!!

If you have trobule finding them, drop me a pm.

Wow I am going to have to try one of these. It's funny because I just got an email from my local B&M about this cigar and the best part is that Pepin himself will be in the house! Apparently the sold out of this cigar and are bringing both the great sticks and the man himself. For those in the bay area here are the details:

This is your opportunity to meet a cigar legend in person, Don Pepin Garcia. We are having a tasting event at West Coast Cigars on Wednesday, November 11th from 5PM to 9PM. Yes, you read that correctly, Don Pepin himself will be at the shop. Every attendee will receive a free cigar. There will also be buy 4 get 1 free deals as well as 20% box purchases, raffle prizes for qualifying purchases, and a chance to meet the man who is behind so many fantastic cigars. A few of his blends you may know are: My Father Cigars and the new My Father Le Bijou 1922, Don Pepin Blue Label, Black Edition Cuban Classic, Serie JJ, Serie JJ Maduro, and Vegas Cubanas are blends for El Rey de los Habanos, his company. Some of his other blends I am sure you have smoked are: Tatuaje Brown, Tatuaje Red, Cabaiguan, Cabaiguan Maduro, La Riqueza, Ambos Mundos, 601, Murcielago, Cubao, Cubao Maduro, Padilla 1932 & 1948, La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial, and San Cristobal. As always, the boys from Ironhorse Grill be be onsite grilling it up.

With his family by his side, he continues to follow the tradition maintained in Cuba for many years, incorporating five of our own brands to the market that demonstrate to knowledge and passion for perfection.

Looks like Niceash is out of stock on the Petite robusto. Anyone know where to get a box of the petite robusto for less than $100?
