Im chasing less and less new stuff as the years go by and Ive already been picking up stuff I was excited about and had on my wishlist: Viaje Leaded, Bio-hazard, My Father Bijou Pelo, MF Garcia/Garcia, Illusione Miserere (best new cigar of 2016 for me btw). Ill probably go in for 5ers of Todos Las Dias and some El Titan De Bronze stuff. Other than that Ill be on the lookout for surprises from my favorite blenders.
    I haven't heard of any of those cigars, but I'll be looking into several now.

    Edit: You had me excited about the My Father Bijou Pelo, but that's just the Le Bijou 1922 - which I love. You made me think there was a new version.

    It is a new version. The blend is different. My Father hasnt given out much info on it but they used more Pelo in the filler. They probably also used higher grade Habano Oscuro etc.

    Has anyone smoked one of these yet? Mind blowing, or just amazing?

    I burned one a few weeks ago, super wet, took well over two hours to burn. I'll post up/pm some notes when I get home. Got another one on deck in a dry coffin, was thinking about burning it tmrw night.

    My Father SA
    Le Bijou Limited 2016
    Purchased 7.14.16, $20, Small Batch
    Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro/Nic/Nic Pelo D'Oro
    Pre - Gorgeous dank tobacco aroma, tilled earth, peat, cocoa, espresso , nutmeg, cedar...a lot going on. Sweet maple syrup, lemon peel, pepper and subtle grapefruit; cake fondit & cocoa powder cold draw.*
    1st- super rich dark flavors to start, warm molten lava cake, black coffee, fresh black pepper & a faint ripe plum sweetness on the finish. A slightly sour note is present. 10 min in the pepper fades leaving allspice, can really taste the Pelo now with its chewy mouth feel. Firm draw and minimal smoke to start, the cigar feels heavy & wet...eventually opens up to a firm draw that produces decent enough smoke. 2nd- consistent, just gets smoother with more tasty spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), raisin, coffee. 1:45 in giant nic kick...cant finish it, started getting the spins...this is one of the strongest cigars I've ever had.
    Full
    22/30

    (it probably would have finished just over 2 hours, should be closer to 1:30 once it dries out)

    Hope that helps.

    That sounds intense! All the flavors you listed seemed pretty epic. I might want to try that one day when I'm feeling brave!
    What Would Jesus Smoke?
