My Father Le Bijou 1922 is the new extension to My Father that I reviewed earlier. Insead of a as a tribute to Don Pepin and blended by his son Jaime, Le Bijou is a tribute to Don Pepin’s father. Le Bijou is French for "the Jewel" and what a jewel this is.

While this looks like it may be a short smoke, it is not. I used a full one hour and 20 minutes to burn my fingers. Solid like a rock with no veins, no flaws and a triple cap. This was a tight but not uncomfortable draw. I had the ash about 2 inches before it fell off in my lap. This is a firecracker of a smoke, rich and flavorfull with lots of spice and flavor. Tons of leather and tobacco and earth.

Hold on to your hats, another 10/10.
