Brick House Cigars With Extra Age Set For TAA Exclusive
When J.C. Newman prepared to renovate its El Reloj factory in Tampa three years ago, someone discovered a stash of Brick House cigars in the basement. The company says that those cigars are 10 years old, and now, they’re earmarked for release to retail members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America this May.
Dubbed Brick House Beginnings, these aged, TAA exclusives are coming in three sizes: the natural version of the Churchill, measuring 7 1/4 inches by 50 ring gauge ($9.60); and the Mighty Mighty at 6 1/4 by 60 ($9.80) in both natural and maduro. The maduro version of Brick House is rolled with a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper while the natural has a Cuban-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. The binder and fillers are from Nicaragua. All three cigars will be available in boxes of 10.
While Brick House is now made at J.C. Newman’s Nicaraguan PENSA factory, these early-edition Brick House cigars were produced at Tabacos San Rafael in Nicaragua before going to El Reloj for aging.
This release of Brick House Beginnings is limited to 330 boxes of both versions of the Mighty Mighty and 440 boxes of the Churchill.
