DPG My Father Le Bijou 1922, Petit Robusto

wayner123 · 11-16-2009, 08:23 AM

WOW.

I have had the regular My Father in a variety of vitola's and I had read good things about the Le Bijou. I saw the Churchill and the Petite Robusto, and picked up the PR.

It is a great looking cigar. A bit darker wrapper than the regular My Father. It has the most beautiful band(s) I have ever seen on a cigar.

So right off the bat I was expecting the "Pepin Spice blast" and got nothing. That wasn't bad, as it was a very good taste of leather and citrus. But hardly any of the traditional spice I have become accustomed to with Pepin products. The more I puffed the better it got. There was a twang that can only be explained as the 'cuban twang'. I was really impressed. No burn on the nose exhale and I kept thinking "whatever Pepin did to get this blend... KEEP IT" because if he was going for the cuban flavor, this cigar captures better than any of his other ones. (search the Pepin ho' thread and you will see I have smoked 30+ different marca's of his). The only real complaint I had about this cigar is without the spice factor it lost a bit of it's 'umph'. But for most looking for a cuban-like cigar... this is it!

Nice review. I think these taste very similar to the MB3's but not as deep. Fantastic smoke and far better than the regular MF.

I tried one of these the other day and was a little disappointed. The construction, draw, and flavor were fine -- just nothing exceptional. I will have to try another one.

These sound pretty good. Ill look for them next time at the B&M

longknocker · 02-08-2010, 04:55 AM

I Agree! Better Than The Original My Father, IMO. Great Review!

Smoked one of these last week, delicious little smoke! Thanks for the review!

So I've had the privilege of smoking these regularly for the past year (Once every football game in the 2009 NFL season, A box of grand robusto's for my wedding, and just recently bought a box of petite robusto's.

One thing that I've noticed about these cigars is that they're a lot smoother than the regular My Fathers. You get even more oomph than the regular My Fathers, but at the same time it's an easier smoke to snork and what not. I think of them as sleepers, because they can get you a nicotine high real fast if you're not careful.

If necro's are frowned upon, I apologize in advance. I didn't want to start a new thread when there was one already established.
