Brick House Cigars

JC Newman is known for their ultra premium offerings such as Diamond Crown, Diamond Crown Maximus, and Julius Caesar, but one of their best-selling cigars was made famous for being a great smoke at a tremendous value: Brick House Cigar. The original Brick House cigar was a Cuban Puro made nearly a century ago and named after JC Newman's childhood home—the only brick house in their Hungarian village. Legend has it that this stick was phenomenal, but the Great Depression brought a swift end to the original Brick House blend. However, some eight decades later, grandsons Eric and Bobby Newman resurrected the brand, this time using a Nicaraguan filler and binder blend and a unique Ecuadorian Havana Subido wrapper leaf. As if introducing a delicious new cigar wasn't enough, the Newmans decided to keep the price point low enough for just about anyone to have access. Brick House exploded in the cigar community, and to this day resides in millions of humidors across the globe. A pair of 92 ratings in Cigar Aficionado, as well as a spot on the Top 25 list two separate times, was all just icing on the cake. The presentation for Brick House is simple and straightforward, yet elegant enough to hide the fact that it is a cigar for the price conscious. The construction is great—it is a JC Newman cigar after all—and performance is always on point, with an easy draw and boatloads of creamy white smoke. A noticeable, yet subdued dose of white pepper starts things off, soon evolving into a sweet and earthy medley of cinnamon, coffee, and cedar. Hints of coconut flavor roll into the nose and bursts of nutmeg and maple are noticeable throughout the experience. The entire flavor profile revolves around a sweet tobacco core that brings back so many memories of the cigars of old. Brick House is distinctly medium-bodied and easy to enjoy any time of the day. Brick House Maduro (rated as high as 91 by Cigar Aficionado) is the darker, spicier sister cigar to the original Brick House by JC Newman, known as one of the greatest value cigars of all time. Originally, the Brick House brand came about in the early 1900s and was named after JC Newman's childhood home in Hungary. Nearly a decade later, grandsons Eric and Bobby Newman brought back the brand, reintroducing it as an affordable, everyday stick. The original blend made Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 on two separate occasions, solidifying the brand's seemingly overnight success. Then Maduro was introduced. This blend uses the same highly-rated Nicaraguan filler and binder blend as the original, but includes a dark, oily maduro wrapper leaf. This isn't just any maduro, however. The leaf chosen for this blend is a Brazilian Arapiraca leaf, known for its robust body and bold spicy character. Brick House Maduro soon followed in the footsteps of its original counterpart, promptly earning a respectable 91 rating in Cigar Aficionado.
