J.C. Newman Cigar Co. began shipping the 2023 release of Brick House Ciento por Ciento cigars. “First rolled in the 1930s, Brick House was one of my great-grandfather’s original cigar brands,” said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman. “He created this brand to honor the rural village where he was born in Austria-Hungary. The house where he was born was known as the ‘brick house’ because it was the only house in the village made of brick. The bottom floor was a general store and tavern, and my family lived on the second floor. These Brick House cigars are very special because we roll them with 100% Nicaraguan tobacco. Ciento por Ciento’ means 100 percent in Spanish. These are the only cigars that we roll entirely with Nicaraguan tobacco.”
Brick House Ciento por Ciento features a dark wrapper grown in Nicaragua’s Jalapa Valley. The binder tobacco is grown in Esteli, and the filler comes from three regions in Nicaragua.
This year’s release is a 54 x 159 mm (6 1/4″) Toro packed in boxes of 10 cigars. The suggested retail price is $11 per cigar. J.C. is shipping 800 boxes to TAA members across the United States.
