Le bijou means The Jewel in French, and while not in the rough, this one is definitely a diamond 

Le Bijou’s name precedes it, frequently seen in top 10 cigar lists and receiving a, near perfect, 97 out of 100 by cigar aficionado gaining it the award of “cigar of the year” 2015

That is all to say that this cigar has accolades, and for good reason: it’s rich, bold, and complex, designed for those looking to savour every detail of a cigar.

As expected for a cigar of this calibre, the construction is impeccable, dense in the hand and expertly packed. While the burn line may waver slightly throughout the experience, it requires no touch-ups, staying true to its perfect form throughout.

What follows is an experience of deep, roasty flavours: earthy, dark, and intense. The peppery start mellows within a few minutes, giving way to smoother milk chocolate notes, dark roast coffee and leather all in perfect harmony twisting and changing in intestines and interactions throughout.

This Toro isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s big, rich, and demands your full attention. With every inch, it reveals something new, a steady evolution of flavours, balanced yet intense, that take you on a journey. As a result, Le Bijou probably isn’t a beginners cigar, it’s layered with intensity, strength, and an abundance of flavours, crafted for those who appreciate a cigar they can ponder, for the serious cigar lover, it’s an unforgettable ride.
