Brick House: Double Connecticut Toro Cigars

A line of cigars from J.C. Newman, Brick House dates to the early 1900s when J.C. introduced a line of Cuban puros made with tobacco from Havana. Named for Newman's childhood home in Hungary — the sole brick house in his town — Brick House cigars represented comfort and family: home. The struggles of the Great Depression, however, saw the end of Brick House cigars as J.C. Newman, like so many other businesses and families, fought to survive the economic drought. Revitalized over 80 years later, Brick House returned to the J.C. Newman portfolio thanks to Julius Caeser's grandsons, and today they're hand-rolled at the Newmans' PENSA factory in Nicaragua.

Brick House cigars feature the same aged, Nicaraguan fillers but are available with three different versions: Habano, Maduro, and Double Connecticut. Offered here is the Double Connecticut, with a Connecticut Shade wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf binder — both from the United States — in the 6" x 52 Toro vitola.
