My Father Le Bijou 1922 100 Años Corona Especial
My Father Le Bijou 1922 100 Años Corona Especial
My Father was founded by José “Pepín” García, with three generations of the family deeply rooted in cigar making and tobacco cultivation. Le Bijou 1922 was originally created to honor José García Alayón, the father, and to mark his centenary in 2022, the brand launched the special 100 Años limited edition to pay homage to the family's patriarch.
The 100 Años features an adjusted blend from the original, utilizing a more deeply fermented Habano Oscuro wrapper. All tobacco leaves are sourced from the García family's own San Rafael, Las Quebradas, and San José farms. The Corona Especial, a more slender size within the series, retains the rich power of the blend while offering a more concentrated smoking experience.
With a steady start and a gradually intensifying profile, the My Father Le Bijou 1922 100 Años Corona Especial is a limited edition worth savoring repeatedly.

Flavor Profile: Three Acts
First Third: Cold draw reveals notes of cocoa and subtle wood. Upon lighting, the smoke is smooth, with caramel, vanilla, and gentle pepper appearing first, marking a steady and layered opening.
Second Third: Flavors gradually unfold. Cocoa becomes more pronounced, with oak and baking spices subtly emerging, along with a hint of sweetness. The mouthfeel is rich, and the smoke is smooth, offering a balanced and profound overall experience.
Final Third: Maintains good stability in the latter half. Red pepper and spices become more prominent, leaving a long finish with a honey-like sweetness. The entire smoking experience is rich and memorable.
