The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo is a commanding expression of Nicaraguan craftsmanship, meticulously handcrafted by Don Pepin Garcia at the prestigious My Father Cigars factory in Estelí. Measuring 6 1/8 x 52, this sharply tapered torpedo format delivers a concentrated, complex flavor journey shaped by its dark Habano Oscuro wrapper—a rare, Cuban-seed Pelo de Oro leaf known for its richness and strength.
From the first draw, this full-bodied cigar captivates with bold notes of earth, espresso, pepper, and dark chocolate, evolving into undertones of leather and baking spices. The tapered head intensifies the smoke, focusing flavor and enhancing burn control for a sophisticated, slow-smoking experience. A tribute to Don Pepin’s father, the “Le Bijou” line, meaning “the jewel,” has earned critical acclaim, including Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year.
Pair the Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo with a barrel-proof bourbon or aged rum to match its bold profile.
