A genuinely full-strength Nicaraguan from the Garcia family, and a former Cigar of the Year.
Le Bijou is not a beginner's cigar and does not apologise for it. The Habano Oscuro wrapper brings black pepper up front, settling into cocoa and earth as it burns. Nicotine is real here — eat first. What separates it from other full-bodied Nicaraguans is that the strength never costs it flavor definition; it stays legible all the way down. If you have worked through medium cigars and want to know what the next step feels like, this is a good and widely available place to take it.
An evening cigar, after a meal, when you want the cigar to be the event.
