My Father Le Bijou 1922 Toro Cigar Review
- Mark in category: network marketing
My Father Le Bijou 1922 Toro Cigar Review This 6×52 stick offers a dark chocolate oily wrapper with small veins, invisible seams, a very even crushed velvet texture with a slight spongy give and a rich oily chocolaty tobacco aroma. First light revels full bodied flavors of a sily smooth chewy thick smoke, though not a lot of it. Flavors are a deep earth, chocolate and mild pepper zing through the long finish. Draw is perfect with just a bit of resistance. The first third gives solid medium body flavors of a super thick and rich dry aged tobacco with a touch of a sweet chocolate and pepper. 20 minutes in I encountered a strange burn problem, with a tiny shaft burning through the center of the cigar, and 1/2 of the stick getting very hot and mushy. It stopped putting out smoke yet continued to burn. After spending 10 minutes correcting the burn, manually lighting 1/2″ of wrapper and getting through a section that seemed to be rolled with a tube down the center, it is back to burning correctly. 40 min in at the 1/2 way point, flavors returned to a medium-full body treat of rich creamy milk chocolate, a slightly sweet eart and smooth tobacco with a touch of pepper and long smooth finish. 1:15 in at the band point the burn has slowed significantly flavors have changed to a creamy textured, smooth slightly sweet earth with a long earth and pepper finish. I have given it a couple minor touchups, but overall performance is good. Ending at 1:40 min where it got hot probably due to …

This cigar made me fall in Love with Don Pepin and his other blends. I bought a box of these Toro size cigars this past summer. Unfortunately I only have 6 left. Great aroma, and flavor. Sorry about the cigar issues Bryan, swear it never happens. Great Review as always

I smoked a couple Don Pepins Blue Label Churchills.
I was pretty disappointed with the construction as well.
One was plugged, and the other one was dry and literally came apart on me.
The fact the you smoked this one and it also had bad construction is disheartening.
They did taste great, but bad construction ruins the entire experience.

I’m a beginner looking for a great cigar. I was looking for a Padron Delicias Maduro. What would you recommend?

Thanks
That’s something that sets me apart from everyone else, and I like it

The music is a very subtle but nice touch.

@micivic I’ve had this problem, too. But I suspect it has to do with cigar construction, not moisture problems, probably they have less leaf in the center. Couple reasons for this – first I’ve had multiple sticks from the same batch stored in the same place – and only one had the tunneling. Second, cigars lose moisture from the foot and thru the wrapper – and conversely a dry cgr absorbs from the foot, before the wrapper – likely causing dry cgrs to burst their foots when rehumidifying.

I like this stick a lot, and have had not had the problem in the video. It looks like a bit of freak thing.

Unfortunate about the tunneling. The flavors sound great though.
micivic 26th January 2012 11:50 pm
that tunneling happened to me before with other cigars. im not sure but i think it has to do with the humidor not having enough moisture. if its not humid enough the center of the cigar would burn faster as there is no moisture in the center. it pisses me off when that happens to me but also my fault for not checking up on my humidor. if anyone finds out why this happens let me know i need to know if its the cigar or me with my humidor
again great review

I have 2 sticks that have been aging in my humidor for about a year. I just hope they don’t have the same problems as the one u smoked. It’s a delicious smoke I hope age will make it a better smoke. Thanks for that review always enjoy your videos keep them coming!!!!!
