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.

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!
