My Father Cigars Le Bijou 1922 Petit Robusto

Worth knowing

"Pelo de Oro", "golden hair", is the name given in Latin America to the tobacco that provides the wrapper for this line. Paradoxically, this Cuban mother of the Corojo comes in a dark Oscuro colour. Either way: a captivating pleasure for 45 - 55 minutes.

Flavours

My Father cigars are known for an expressive start with a distinctive roast and pepper tickle before the sophisticated blends turn on the charm. With many formats, this "blast" doesn't seem so violent to us - but this little powerhouse really flexes its muscles at first. Soon, however, a gentler impression takes hold, and as the intensity increases linearly, the harmonious bijou flavour unfolds with cocoa, roasted nuts, liquorice, earth and fragrant "vegetal" overtones. The powerful spiciness blends in wonderfully. A spicy smoke of the stronger kind.
