Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo

Rated No1 Cigar of the Year 2015 by Cigar Aficionado

Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo honours the birth year of José “Pepín” Garcia, reflecting a disciplined, traditional approach to full-bodied Nicaraguan blending. It delivers black pepper and earth from the outset, settling into espresso, dark cocoa, cedar, and leather as the smoke develops. The tapered head concentrates the draw, keeping the profile focused and direct while allowing the flavours to layer gradually. The body remains firm and consistent throughout, finishing long with pepper, cocoa, and dry earth lingering on the palate. It pairs naturally with espresso, strong black coffee, or a well-aged dark rum enjoyed neat.
