The Brick House Connecticut represents a milder extension of J.C. Newman's acclaimed Nicaraguan puro line, featuring a Connecticut Shade wrapper over Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. This medium-bodied cigar delivers refined, creamy tones of roasted nut, sweet cedar, and toasted bread, offering exceptional value at an accessible price point around $6. The cigar maintains the brand's reputation for quality construction while providing a more approachable smoking experience compared to its fuller-bodied counterparts.
Crafted at J.C. Newman's PENSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Brick House Connecticut continues the brand's heritage that began in 1937 as a Cuban puro before being relaunched with premium Nicaraguan tobaccos. The brand honors founder Julius Caesar Newman's Hungarian heritage, with the label modeled after his childhood home - the only brick house in their small village. Despite lying dormant for 85 years, the Newman family revived Brick House using exquisite Nicaraguan tobaccos, maintaining their commitment to exceptional quality at reasonable prices.
This Connecticut-wrapped variant appeals to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts seeking a daily smoke with consistent construction and smooth flavor delivery. The cigar's golden-brown wrapper and manageable strength make it suitable for golf course enjoyment or as an afternoon treat, while maintaining the complex flavor profile that has earned the Brick House brand multiple Cigar Aficionado Top 25 recognitions.
