Last Words:
I would not recommend this vitola, although the lancero in this line is a regular smoke for me.	Something about this cigar just make me think cheap bundled cigar.
I love the petit robusto of these cigars and would highly recommend them. Something went wrong with these box pressed torps. Dissapointing, I thought this would be a killer cigar. Sorry guys.	Yeah… not a Padron 64.
If you like strong one-dimensional cigars, then you'll like this one. I was overwhelmed.	Just didn't do much for me. Not a bad cigar, but nothing I'll remember the next time I look in the humi. the good: Nice burn - evenish. very well constructed the bad: I'm personally not a fan of big box-pressed cigars that thick. 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.
Amazing cocoa flavor at the start. Pleasant flavor change throughout. Damn good cigar.	Not half bad.
Felicia was good for a drunken grope on the dance floor, but she's not worth staining the upholstery in the back of Dad's car.	Good overall cigar and I would definitely keep a couple in the humidor. I rarely buy boxes so that doesn't indicate a whole lot to me but I would certainly smoke this one again.
Cigar was smooth, but bland. Initially I thought it was a pretty cheap stick, but the even burn and consistency makes me think there's some quality to the stick and not a bundle cigar. It underwhelmed, like most Rocky's, hence my guess. I like a bit more zip in a cigar.	Maybe it was the power going out and this developing migraine, but I did not enjoy that stick very much. Or, maybe I just know even less about cigars than I thought....Probably the latter.
I am not as versed in Padrons as a lot of you guys but I think it is a Padron . The price guess is what I would have paid for a cigar of this caliber. 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.	A bit strong for a go to cigar for me, but I did enjoy it. Thanks!
This smoke was OK. Nothing special. It was packed very lightly and burned a little hot. I chalked up the the hot burn to driving while smoking it. I'm going to say this is a Rocky Patel 15th Anni. That's why it is a Nicaraguan and NOT Honduran. You spelled my name wrong Buzz.

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!

Must have been a bad batch.

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