I bought a box of My Father Le Bijou 1922 Churchills in December and have yet to try one. I've smoked various sizes of the My Fathers and really enjoyed them. I'm really looking forward to smoking one of the Bijous though.

The Le Bijou's are almost a completely different cigar imo. I haven't been much of a fan of the regular line of My Father's, but the Le Bijou is a winner.

I didnt dislike the original my fathers, but will definetly agree that the le bijou is a very different animal and definetly a better stick to me.

Had a Tabaco Baez Serie SF robusto the other day, I guess these are fairly new. In Cali they are about 3.25 a stick. Probablly the best 3.00 non cuban I have had. Nubbed it which suprised the hell out of me. It definetly out preformed my expectations of a short filler stick.

Although he doesn't make my favorite cigar, DPG definitely doesn't disappoint!

Every DPG I have ever smoked has been excellent and I've smoked a lot of them!

From Tats to Red Labels to 601s, JJ Series to San Cristobals to My Fathers everything I've tried has been top-notch...

DPG is da man!!!

I definately agree with Wayne and Mike, the Le Bijou 1922 is a completely different animal compared to the My Father line.

That's great news about the Le Bijou line! I'm even more excited about lighting one up, I am going to give them a little more Humi time before doing that though. Jose " Don Pepin " Garcia & his son Jaime are true to their craft and make our hobby even more enjoyable!

I had not had a My Father that was as good as expected... until the LANCERO!!

My Father Le Bijou Robustos haven't fully impressed either...

both lines of MF will need time to reach their true potential, unlike his other smokes which smoke great now, and grow better with age. IMHO

I actually really enjoyed the Robusto and Lancero from the regular line, fine construction as always and just a real pleasant smoke
