My Father Le Bijou 1922 Toro Natural Box of 23

I've never had a cigar like this one. I started smoking this and hour and 20 minutes ago and still have half left. The first 3rd was pretty good but gets better and better. Super tight wrap. Getting hints nuttiness and pepper then starts to sweeten almost at the half way mark. AMAZING!

I was at a beer and wine festival over the weekend I had several people approach me asked about the cigar. They will be getting their own in the very near future.

I ordered a box of these to enjoy. With much anticipation they finally arrived. I sat down and the first thing I noticed is that it seemed a bit dry. Another reviewer mentioned that the first third was good. GOOD???? when you are paying over $10 a stick for a cigar at least in my book it needs to be great. I was into the first quarter and I noticed in two places the wrapper peeling / splitting. After that it is probably impossible to give this a much better review because that affects all aspects of a cigar. I did not get the great taste of a highly rated cigar even beyond the wrapper or dryness issues. As comparison I enjoy most the Oliva Melanio and this wasn't even close. It was not very relaxing seeing an expensive peeling before your eyes when the objective is to put frustrating things behind you bottom line. So if or when you choose to try one I would say buy a single stick and judge for yourself. Thompson cheerfully accepted the box return!!! Glenn Hall Mendota Il
