What is this product?
The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Connecticut Limited Edition Toro is a 6 x 54 handcrafted cigar made at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. This limited release marks a new direction for the celebrated Le Bijou 1922 line, replacing the traditional Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper with a Connecticut-seed wrapper. The complete blend details remain undisclosed, though the cigar is manufactured entirely in Nicaragua. Production is strictly limited to 1,500 boxes of 20 cigars, with an expected release in November 2026.
Originally introduced in 2009 as a tribute to José "Pepín" García's father, José García Alayón, the Le Bijou 1922 line has become one of My Father's most celebrated offerings. This Connecticut edition represents the García family's exploration of how a different wrapper selection can reinterpret an iconic blend.
Why this product?
This release offers a rare opportunity to experience the García family's craftsmanship through a completely new lens. While Le Bijou 1922 built its reputation on bold Nicaraguan character, the Connecticut wrapper introduces an intriguing variable that invites exploration. As seasoned cigar enthusiasts understand, a Connecticut wrapper doesn't automatically signal a mild experience—the true character depends entirely on what's underneath, and the García family's blending decisions remain closely guarded.
The Toro format provides a generous canvas for this new expression, offering ample time to discover how the Connecticut wrapper interacts with the undisclosed Nicaraguan components. For those familiar with the original Le Bijou 1922, this limited edition presents a fascinating side-by-side comparison. For collectors, the strict 1,500-box production run adds meaningful scarcity to an already anticipated release from one of Nicaragua's most respected cigar families.
Who can buy this product?
This cigar is for adult premium cigar enthusiasts, 21 and over, who appreciate limited-edition releases and the García family's approach to blending. My Father collectors will find this Connecticut edition a compelling addition to their Le Bijou 1922 collection, while experienced smokers curious about how a Connecticut wrapper can reinterpret a traditionally bold line will find plenty to explore in the 6 x 54 format.
Whether you're a longtime Le Bijou enthusiast interested in this new direction or simply an adult cigar smoker who values Nicaraguan craftsmanship and limited production runs, the Le Bijou 1922 Connecticut Toro offers a worthwhile experience for those moments when you want something both familiar and entirely new.

Storage and Handling
Ideal Humidity Range
Store your cigars between 65% and 70% relative humidity for optimal flavor, burn consistency, and structure. This range prevents cracking, swelling, and uneven combustion.
Temperature Matters
Keep cigars between 65°F and 70°F (18°C–21°C). Excess heat can damage oils and increase the risk of tobacco beetles, while cold environments can affect burn performance.
Stability Over Perfection
Consistency is more important than hitting an exact number. Sudden humidity swings can damage wrappers and affect draw. A stable environment protects your investment.
Recommended: 2-Way Humidity Control
For effortless maintenance, we recommend Boveda 2-Way Humidity Packs (65% or 69%) to maintain consistent humidity with no refilling, no monitoring stress, and no over-humidifying.
