J.C. Newman’s Brick House line is now available in a 70-ring gauge vitola.
Today, the company is shipping the Brick House Maduro Commodore, a new 5 1/2 x 70 gordo. Blend-wise, the Brick House Maduro uses a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. J.C. Newman rolls the Brick House lines at its PENSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The Commodore has an MSRP of $11.50 and is offered in boxes of 25 and bags of five cigars.
For now, the Commodore is only offered in the Maduro line. J.C. Newman has not announced plans to add it to the standard Brick House line or any other variants.
“Brick House is known around the world for its outstanding taste, flawless construction, and excellent value,” said Drew Newman, owner of J.C. Newman, in a press release. “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.”
