History

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. This effort garnered recognition, with the cigar being designated as the Best Bargain Cigar of 2009 by Cigar Aficionado.
