My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto – Box of 23
The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto Box of 23 brings together bold Nicaraguan tobacco, a dark Habano Oscuro wrapper, and the Garcia family’s renowned cigar-making tradition. This substantial Grand Robusto measures approximately 5½ inches by 55 ring gauge, giving smokers a larger format without moving into an oversized Churchill or Gordo.
My Father created the Le Bijou 1922 collection as a tribute to José Garcia, the father of José “Pepin” Garcia, who was born in 1922. The name Le Bijou, meaning “The Jewel,” reflects the importance of this blend within the My Father portfolio.
The result is a cigar designed for enthusiasts who appreciate rich, spicy, full-bodied Nicaraguan cigars.
A Celebrated My Father Blend
The Le Bijou 1922 has earned a strong reputation among premium cigar enthusiasts. Most notably, the Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo Box Pressed received 97 points and the No. 1 Cigar of the Year award from Cigar Aficionado in 2015.
The Grand Robusto gives enthusiasts another way to experience the Le Bijou 1922 family. Instead of the pointed Torpedo shape, this vitola uses a traditional larger-format construction that puts plenty of tobacco behind the blend.
Therefore, it can be an appealing option for smokers who already enjoy the Le Bijou 1922 and want to explore another size.
Dark Habano Oscuro Wrapper
The cigar’s dark wrapper immediately gives the My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto its distinctive appearance. My Father identifies the wrapper as Habano Oscuro-Oscuro, complemented by Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.
This combination creates the foundation for the cigar’s powerful flavor profile.
The dark wrapper contributes richness and depth, while the Nicaraguan filler provides the pepper, earth, spice, and roasted tobacco character associated with the Le Bijou 1922.
As a result, this is not a cigar designed around a light or delicate flavor profile. It is a bold option for smokers who prefer substantial tobacco.
Rich Nicaraguan Flavor Profile
The Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto offers a complex profile that can develop as the cigar progresses.
Common tasting notes associated with the Le Bijou 1922 blend include:
- Black pepper
- Red pepper
- Dark chocolate
- Cocoa
- Espresso
- Roasted coffee
- Cedar
- Earth
- Leather
- Dried fruit
- Sweet spice
- Toasted tobacco
The opening can bring noticeable pepper and spice. Meanwhile, deeper flavors of coffee, cocoa, earth, and leather can develop as the cigar progresses.
The larger 55 ring gauge also gives the blend plenty of tobacco to work with, allowing the smoking experience to evolve across the cigar.
5½ x 55 Grand Robusto Format
The 5½ x 55 Grand Robusto offers a substantial smoking experience while remaining shorter than many Toro and Churchill formats.
Its 55 ring gauge gives the cigar a larger diameter than the traditional Robusto, while its 5½-inch length keeps the overall format relatively compact.
Consequently, this size can appeal to smokers who want more tobacco and a substantial draw without choosing a much longer cigar.
The larger format also makes the Grand Robusto an attractive option for enthusiasts who enjoy experiencing how a blend performs in different vitolas.
Full-Bodied Nicaraguan Cigar
The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Grand Robusto is best suited to experienced cigar smokers who enjoy full-flavored tobacco.
Pepper and spice give the cigar plenty of intensity, while coffee, chocolate, earth, and leather create additional depth. Furthermore, the natural sweetness in the blend helps balance some of the stronger flavors.
If you regularly enjoy Nicaraguan cigars with bold tobacco character, this Grand Robusto deserves consideration.
However, smokers who normally prefer mild or creamy cigars may find the Le Bijou 1922 considerably stronger.
Handmade in Nicaragua
My Father produces the Le Bijou 1922 collection in Nicaragua, where the Garcia family has established a respected premium cigar operation.
Nicaraguan tobacco plays an important role in the character of the blend. The country’s volcanic soil and established tobacco-growing regions have helped make Nicaragua one of the world’s leading sources of premium cigar tobacco.
For the Le Bijou 1922, My Father combines Nicaraguan binder and filler with its dark Habano Oscuro wrapper to create the blend’s distinctive character.
The result is a cigar that showcases the strength, spice, and complexity often associated with premium Nicaraguan tobacco.

First, it gives existing Le Bijou 1922 fans another vitola to explore.
Second, its larger ring gauge makes it appealing to smokers who enjoy substantial cigars.
