Brick House: Bricktoberfest Pigtail 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.

Released annually since 2017, the Bricktoberfest cigar is a special release that celebrates Oktoberfest, the largest of all Germany's various Volksfests (people's festivals). A limited production release of undisclosed production numbers, the 2023 Bricktoberfest was blended specifically to complement the märzen-style beer which is traditionally consumed during Oktoberfest. The blend is offered in a singular 6 x 52 Toro vitola with a pigtail cap, and it comprises an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper over binder and filler tobacco from Nicaragua.
