History
This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2022) |
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]
