J.C. Newman Cigar Co. introduced Brick House The Commodore Maduro at the Premium Cigar Association trade show this past weekend (April 18-20, 2026) in New Orleans. This new cigar is 5.5\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrick House is known around the world for its outstanding taste, flawless construction, and excellent value,\u201d said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman. \u201cOur most popular Brick House size is the 6.25\u201d x 60 Mighty Mighty. This year, we will hand-roll 1.1 million cigars in that vitola alone. The Commodore is Mighty Mighty\u2019s big brother. It recognizes the popularity of larger ring gauge cigars, but its standard 5.5\u201d length makes it more approachable than the typical 7\u201d x 70.\u201d<\/p>\n
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\u2019s company. After he came to America and founded his cigar company, J.C. designed the Brick House brand to honor his family\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
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 Estel\u00ed, Nicaragua. Like all Brick House Maduro cigars, The Commodore features a Brazilian Arapiraca maduro wrapper and a selection of Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you light The Commodore, you take command,\u201d said Newman. \u201cAs captain of your ship, prepare to set sail on a bold three-hour cigar journey.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is the first of four new products that J.C. Newman will be introducing at the PCA Trade Show this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" J.C.
