Brick House Maduro is rolled with the same highly-acclaimed Brick House filler blend and finished with a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper. Darker and spicier than the original Brick House, Brick House Maduro offers a full-bodied flavor balanced with rich hints of sweetness.

J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is introducing Brick House The Commodore Maduro at the Premium Cigar Association trade show this weekend (April 18-20, 2026) in New Orleans. This bold new cigar is 5.5” x 70 and will be packed in both boxes of 25 and humidor bags of 5 cigars.  The Commodore Maduro has a suggested retail price of $11.50 and will begin shipping in June.

“Brick House is known around the world for its outstanding taste, flawless construction, and excellent value,” said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman.  “Our most popular Brick House size is the 6.25” x 60 Mighty Mighty.  This year, we will hand roll 1.1 million cigars in that vitola alone. The Commodore is Mighty Mighty’s big brother. It recognizes the popularity of larger ring gauge cigars, but its standard 5.5” length makes it more approachable than the typical 7” x 70.”

In 1875, Julius C. Newman was born in the only brick house in his village in Austria-Hungary. The first floor was a tavern and general store, and J.C. and his family lived on the second floor. Locals and visitors would gather at the home nightly to eat, drink, smoke, and enjoy each other’s company. After he came to America and founded his cigar company, J.C. designed the Brick House brand to honor his family’s home.

A century ago, Brick House was a true Cuban puro. Today, J.C. Newman proudly rolls Brick House at its J.C. Newman PENSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Like all Brick House Maduro cigars, The Commodore features a Brazilian Arapiraca maduro wrapper and a rich selection of the finest Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.  

“When you light The Commodore, you take command,” said Newman.  “As captain of your ship, prepare to set sail on a bold three-hour cigar journey.”

Brick House cigars are flavorful with flawless construction and superb quality. Cigar Aficionado has rated Brick House 93 and included it in its Top 25 Cigars of the Year four times, including as the No. 10 Cigar of 2024.

Brick House Double Connecticut is rolled with the same highly-acclaimed Brick House filler blend with a genuine Connecticut Shade wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf binder. Fewer and fewer cigars are being made with genuine Connecticut wrapper because many cigar manufacturers have found it to be more profitable to take Connecticut seeds and plant them elsewhere, like Ecuador or Honduras. J.C. Newman takes the use of genuine Connecticut tobacco by using it both in the wrapper and binder.

The result of this combination is a very spicy and peppery rich flavor- one not only unlike regular Brick House- but one unlike any other cigar on the market today. Using both Connecticut Shade wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf Binder is what makes this new Brick House Double Connecticut such a truly unusual and unique cigar.
