My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto

For a brand that's only existed since the late 2000's, My Father has racked up a staggering number of accomplishments. In addition to its massive popularity all across North America, it has attracted numerous accolades from Cigar Aficionado magazine. This started with the designation of the My Father No.1 as the third best cigar in the year 2009, followed by number one picks for the Flor de Las Antillas and Le Bijou 1922 series in 2012 and 2015, respectively.

None of this is surprising, though, given that the brand founder Don José "Pepin" Garcia was not only a Master Roller in Cuba (before leaving the country in 2001) but the head of Quality Assurance for the Cohiba brand in the 1990's. His experience and talent - combined with that of his son Jaime - were on full display with the release of the Le Bijou 1922 series, which was given the top spot for the Box-Pressed Torpedo size in Cigar Aficionado in 2015. In their rapturous review, the magazine noted the "uncanny impressions of dark chocolate-covered raisins, savory leather and a sweet-and-salty finish that resonates on the palate."

The Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto is the same blend as the BP Torpedo, but in a thick Robusto Extra size that smokes upwards of 90 minutes.
