Brick House Double Connecticut

Brick House has traveled an impressive path since its debut in 1937. What began as J.C. Newman’s Cuban-made creation—rolled entirely from Havana tobacco—was reinvented decades later after the embargo reshaped the cigar world. The Newman family turned to Nicaragua for the brand’s rebirth, and the result was a puro that stunned smokers with its richness, reliability, and price that felt almost too good to be true. It didn’t take long for Brick House to become a go-to recommendation for value-conscious enthusiasts.

The line continues to grow, and one of its most approachable extensions is Brick House Connecticut. This version doesn’t try to match the full intensity of its siblings; instead, it settles into a smoother lane while still carrying the trademark depth that made the brand famous. Rolled by hand in Nicaragua, it’s dressed in a warm golden Connecticut wrapper that immediately signals a gentler profile.

The flavor is relaxed yet far from simple: mellow, creamy undertones, and subtle toasted notes weave together into an easygoing, everyday smoke. For anyone who appreciates the original Brick House but wants something lighter in strength—and equally friendly on the wallet—this Connecticut edition is a natural next pick.
