    Information from Atlantic Cigar:
    My Father Le Bijou Cigars are the second installment of the My Father cigar lineup. A stellar blend that is rich and full bodied with lots of pepper and spice. The name Le Bijou is French for ''the jewel,'' and 1922 represents the year Jose ''Pepin'' Garcia's father was born. The original My Father was conceived by Pepin son Jaime as a tribute to his father, this new creation is Pepin's way of honoring his own father. The new cigars have an all-Nicaraguan blend with an Ecuadoran Habano Oscuro wrapper, a dark Colorado Maduro, enclosed are aged Nicaraguan fillers and binder. This blend is one of the most full bodied full cigars produced out of the My Father Cigar factory in Nicaragua. The cigar produces rich maduro flavors of chocolate and earth that coat the mouth, the construction is outstanding.

    Quote Originally Posted by kevin7

    Taste 1st Third:

    Quote Originally Posted by buzz
    First couple puffs had a nice spice, then gave way to dry-woody/earthy. Not bad, wish the spice had hung around a little longer. Reminds me of the standard My Father cigars. Fantastic amount of smoke, the draw is on the easy side, but exactly how I like it (so I say it's perfect). Not too strong, I'd say medium, maybe med-full.
    Quote Originally Posted by Mizicke5273
    The first puff gave a very strong kick of spice and lots of smoke. I had a hard time determining the major taste; woody or musky. I also picked up a slight hint of fruit. Towards the end of the 1st third, I ran into a bad burn issue and the cigar almost went out.
    Quote Originally Posted by craig
    Whoah. Not what I was expecting. Started off hot and harsh and strong. Too much ligero for my liking. After an inch, the cigar has settled a bit, but is still power, power, power. I'm uncomfortably numb.
    Quote Originally Posted by mrtr33
    I don't taste much in the first third, paying more attention to things like the burn, smoke volume/draw.
    Quote Originally Posted by FightingFish
    Rich cocoa flavor right from the start. Chocolate cupcakes. Sturdy medium body, yet super smooth.
    Quote Originally Posted by Paddy
    Some spice tobacco pepper.
    Quote Originally Posted by heftysmokes
    Copious smoke. Too easy draw compared to what I prefer, but an agreeable flavor. Salted caramel on the finish. I'm worried about this booger Buzz wiped on Felicia.
    Quote Originally Posted by prophetic_joe
    Nice and smooth with that hint of spice present with a woody taste still. Again not as powerful as I was expecting but I would say a good solid medium body smoke. I am enjoying it so far. The only downside at this point is I had a bit of a split in the wrapper that I am having to baby a bit but the overall experience as of now has been good.
    Quote Originally Posted by Irish79
    A puff on this stick generates an ample amount of smoke and the draw is right in the middle. I'm not noticing any spice, so I'm ruling out Nicaraguan tobacco. Pretty bland.
    Quote Originally Posted by TheGreekTitan
    Harsh. Airy Draw.
    Quote Originally Posted by kevin7

    Quote Originally Posted by VancouverMark
    I would describe this cigar as having a long finish. Woodsy and earthy flavors dominated the first third.

    Taste 2nd Third:

    Quote Originally Posted by buzz

    Quote Originally Posted by Mizicke5273

    Quote Originally Posted by FightingFish
    Raisin/date sweetness. Secondary notes of roasted caramel. Light creamy mouth feel.
    Quote Originally Posted by Paddy
    Same (some spice tobacco pepper).
    Quote Originally Posted by heftysmokes

The burn finally got close enough to the booger to heat it up and flake off, and she's none the worse for wear. Nothing standing out flavor wise but pleasant is the overwhelming feeling I'm getting. Time for another beer.
    Quote Originally Posted by prophetic_joe
    More spice at this point and the cigar is kinda acting a bit like a sleep on me, seeming not so powerful and then sneaking up and kicking me in the backside a little. Very woodsy but very good. I am definitely enjoying this cigar at this point. Makes me wish like heck I was out side with my friends next to a nice fire, on the other hand I can deny that this smoke has paired amazingly well with my choice of T.V. show and my rum. I have worked past the wrapper issue and I am having a very good smoke.
    Quote Originally Posted by Irish79
    Much more of the same. Seems one dimensional to me. The ash is somewhat flakey.
    Quote Originally Posted by TheGreekTitan
    Harsher. Not much other than burnt flavor. A little spice with a nose exhale.
    Quote Originally Posted by kevin7
    Same (very woody and leathery but no sweetness).
    Quote Originally Posted by VancouverMark
    Developed a more grassy/hay taste. The spice has dropped right off. Earthy leather becoming the dominant flavor profile. Very strong cigar and full bodied. Experienced some light headedness.


    Taste 3rd Third:
    Quote Originally Posted by ashauler
    More of the acrid...continuing purges needed.
    Quote Originally Posted by logan37

    Quote Originally Posted by badwhale
    Cracking wrapper. Burning ok. Mint, oily thick and rich. Needs another purge.
    Quote Originally Posted by Mangyrat
    Right at the end it had a little taste to it.
    Quote Originally Posted by buzz
    Strengh, full. Taste, bland. This cigar was interesting for a couple minutes, then the only thing that seemed to change was it's strength.
    Quote Originally Posted by Mizicke5273
    I had to purge the smoke at this point, which 0brought the ''buttery'' taste back. But, it quickly disappeared again.
    Quote Originally Posted by craig

First, it's just a little bit, then it intensifies. Not a fan. I thought about re-cutting, but pushed through. From that point, it just started getting bitter.
    Quote Originally Posted by FightingFish

    Quote Originally Posted by prophetic_joe

    Quote Originally Posted by TheGreekTitan

    Quote Originally Posted by kevin7

    Quote Originally Posted by VancouverMark

I don't mind if it was a smaller ring gauge, but that size is just.....awkward the draw was too loose. just didn't have a lot of depth to the flavor - felt more one-dimensional.

Not sure what series but honestly all Padrons pretty much are the same to me. I enjoyed it tremendously . But who knows what it is, I could go looking online for exact sizes and such but I believe it is not in the spirit of a review to do that. Thanks for including me in this.

    Editor's Note:

    These cigars were purchased from www.atlanticcigar.com. We picked them up for $175.95 with free shipping (box of 23). The cigars came nicely packaged in a white hinged box. I didn't notice any cigar damage but unfortunately the two bands for this cigar were not easy to take off and a couple sticks suffered some minor wrapper damage. The foot of each cigar was wrapped with an orange ribbon. I thought it would be interesting to compare tastes from the regular My Father line with the Le Bijou line (though this particular vitola may have been a bad choice).

    logan37 is in the lead, nailing the price and correctly guessing the Country. No one was able to figure out the brand this round, good luck with the next round guys!

    I agree with Jamie. I really enjoy this brand in the lancero, but this vitola was lacking (IMO).

    Good thread. I like the smaller ones. Petite robusto size. Don't know the name.

    That's them (Petit Robusto), and I agree. The lances are good too.

    What do you guys think about the formatting (using tables). Unfortunately, I cannot get the "X"s to be centered. I'm open to suggestions. I wish there wasn't a 10,000 charactor and 12 image limit for posts (or that there wasn't a 30 second forced delay between posts) - it would make posting these easier.

    I'm impressed. Don't change a thing.

    I thought it looked good. Maybe just do the quotes normal, and not put them in a matrix? Not sure if that would help the 10,000 / 12 limit you speak of.

    I thought it was a minute between posts, and 30 seconds for blog comments / admin reporting (of Jamie)

    You're right, it's a minute...

    I don't think having the quotes in a table helps/hurts with the number of characters, I was thinking it might be easier to read this way - no?

    IMHO, I can read it either way with ease. It's just if it's easier for you to post all the qoutes in a table or not.

    I was able to figure out how to center the "X"s (see post #2 above for comparison) - what do you think? Is it worthwhile to have them centered?
