Brick House is an old Cuban brand brought back to life by J.C. Newman Cigar Company as an all Nicaraguan stick. The wrapper is a deep reddish-brown with some veins showing. It is well constructed with a large cap that is straight. The portion of the cap that was left behind by my clip job stayed well intact.
It has a slightly uneven and very slow burn that produces large amounts of smoke. I did not have to redirect the burn since it stayed in bounds as it crawled the sidelines.
The first third of the cigar was woody. Brick House officially describes it as Oak. Fair enough. This third is alright.
The second third turned fabulous. I would truly call it a buttery pancake flavor. I have come to expect some chocolate or cocoa flavors in most Nicaraguan cigars but I have never quite experienced this taste in any cigar before.
The final third transitions to a nutty-toasty aftertaste. I would say peanut butter toast.
It was a very smooth smoke. Try it when you have at least one hour to spare. It is not the most beautiful sight lit or not. The ash is deceptive. It appears light and flaky but almost snaps when you dispatch it. It burns a bit crooked but honestly I had more trouble with the lighter than the cigar. If you like Nicaraguan cigars you will really enjoy the Brick House.

Thanks for the review. I've seen those stogies advertized but haven't actually caught a glimpse of one in the wild yet. When I do I'll nab one and give it a try!
Hi,
My name is Brian and I am the owner of ThePerfectAshtray.com. I was creating a Cigar Resources page on my site and came across your website while searching for some related outlets. I was wondering if you would be interested exchanging links and being listed on my Resources page. Shoot me an email at brian@theperfectashtray.com if you are interested.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

I had a Brick house last evening. A very pleasant mild smoke.
