Cigar of the Year in 2015, and still the cigar most people name first when the family comes up. Le Bijou means 'the jewel', and the 1922 is Pepín's father's birth year.
Rich and full-bodied in the classic Pepín manner — black pepper, dark cocoa and a sweetness underneath that keeps it from turning severe. Sizes from a petite robusto up to a torpedo, in boxes of twenty.
