Brick House @ Anthony’s
J.C. NEWMAN CIGAR CO.
The Brick House is a classic Nicaraguan cigar that delivers bold flavor with impressive consistency.
One bonus with this cigar is that it is meticulously well-constructed. Wrapped in a rich, Ecuadorian Habano leaf, and filled with Nicaraguan tobaccos, it produces thick clouds of smoke and a steady burn from start to finish. The construction is solid, with a firm feel and excellent draw throughout, which makes this a go-to for an everyday smoke.
Budget is a factor in the cigar world these days. There is no sacrifice in quality or flavor with this line of cigars, is this author’s opinion. The smoking experience is enjoyable from the light up. Flavor opens with notes of cedar and black pepper before settling into a balanced profile of roasted nuts, earth, and coffee. As the cigar progresses, subtle hints of cocoa and natural sweetness begin to appear, adding depth without overwhelming the palate.
Medium to medium-full in strength, the Brick House stands out as one of the best everyday premium cigars available—rich, satisfying, and remarkably dependable for the price. Value is the real point.
