My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo

The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo Box-Press is the cigar itself — the exact vitola named Cigar Aficionado's #1 Cigar of the Year in 2015. A 6⅛ × 52 box-pressed torpedo wearing the Garcia farms' dark Habano Oscuro over an all-Nicaraguan core.

Construction

A sharply pressed torpedo with a near-black, oily wrapper — visually arresting and flawlessly rolled. Cut to taste; the draw and burn are exemplary.

Flavor profile

Full-bodied and award-validated. Black pepper, espresso, and dark earth open hard; the middle develops dark chocolate, charred oak, and a balancing sweetness; the finish is long, bold, and warm. The taper and press concentrate everything. A 75–90 minute smoke for experienced palates.

Pairings & occasion

The trophy-night cigar. Pair with cask-strength bourbon (Stagg Jr.), a bold rye, or a double espresso. Smoke what the critics crowned.
