Story and Accolades:
A grand expression of heritage and power, the My Father Le Bijou 1922 Churchill pays homage to cigar master Don Pepin Garcia, born in 1922, through a bold and sophisticated Nicaraguan puro. Crafted by his son Jaime Garcia, this vitola features the line’s hallmark Pelo de Oro wrapper—a rare and flavorful leaf known for its intensity and complexity—paired with expertly aged Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The Churchill format allows the cigar’s strength and flavor evolution to fully unfold over time, making it a captivating journey from the first draw to the final inch. This line earned top-tier recognition, including Cigar Aficionado’s #1 Cigar of the Year in 2015, thanks to its masterful construction and profound flavor profile.

Pairing:
Best enjoyed with a bold companion such as a vintage Cognac, a barrel-proof bourbon, or a strong single-origin French press coffee to match its richness and depth.
