Iconic cigar for the Garcia family. 1922 was the birth year of Jose Garcia, the father of Don Pepin Garcia. My Father Le Bijou 1922 was made by Pepin Garcia in honor of his father José. Unlike the brand’s other lines, where the wrapper is Ecuadorian, Le Bijou 1922 is darker and stronger and the tobacco blend is entirely Nicaraguan. With Habano Oscuro wrapper grown from Cuban seeds and Nicaraguan long-filler filling. A medium to strong cigar, an ideal combination of strength and finesse, complemented by intriguing aromas of dark chocolate, raisins and leather. My Father Le Bijou 1922 is a true gem created by the Garcia family, their pride and the second cigar to become #1 Cigar of the Year.
