Brick House (cigar)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brick House Robusto

Brick House (or Brick House Cigars) is a brand of cigars handmade in Nicaragua by the J.C. Newman Cigar Company. [citation needed]

History

[edit]

The Brick House brand was introduced in 1937 by Julius Caesar Newman, the founder of the J.C. Newman Cigar Company. The name was selected to honor his family's residence, a brick house situated in the Hungarian countryside. This house accommodated the Newman family on its upper floor and housed a local tavern on the lower floor.

Initially, the earliest Brick House cigars were fashioned using Cuban tobacco. Despite experiencing a decline in popularity, the brand underwent a revival in 2009 under the stewardship of third-generation owners Eric and Bobby Newman. They transitioned to employing Nicaraguan tobaccos in their blends.[1][2][3] This effort garnered recognition, with the cigar being designated as the Best Bargain Cigar of 2009 by Cigar Aficionado.[4]
