da'Rum recommends: Don Pepin My Father Le Bijou 1922

This isn't a review...
...yet, but based on the very highest recommendation by da'Rum I was able to locate this well rated petit robusto at a new and HUGE cigar emporium called Neptune in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. It's like the Total Wine but featuring cigars, pipes, sisha and even has a huge BYO (bring your own) plush and air-conditioned smoke room. Amazing...
Normally Don Pepins are pretty darn expensive, but Neptune is actually a big mailorder company who decided that our destination city for monied tourists could support such a megastore. I hope they are right.
It's 4-1/2" x 50, with a rare wrapper, an "obscuro" (near black). The reviews are universally favorable but no spoiler's here now. It's considered a medium/full bodied creamy and complex cigar, and was had for $6.50 - a fair price. Better yet?
My Father Cigars are made in Miami, near Calle Ocho (perhaps one of the most famous streets in the world), Little Havana. d', check THIS out...

BTW, this is exactly what it's like - the music, the women, the cigars, the Cafe Cubano being sold on the street, old men smoking cigars wearing white, Panama hats, and arguing politics and playing dominoes. Doral - where the MF headquarters is located is within reasonable driving distance, and has a small factory, smoke room, et al. (the main factory is in Nicaragua).
da'Rum must know his business as I learned this one has been rated by Cigar Afficianado as in the Top 25 two years running.
