Thoughts about Brick House Cigars

In anticipation of a Brick House event being held here at Winston's on Thursday, April 22, 2010, this discussion will focus on the benefits of this J.C. Newman release. Featuring a Nicaraguan binder and filler and a Nicaraguan Havana Subido wrapper, Brick House cigars have received excellent ratings since their release in 2009. While I regularly smoke the Toro, these cigars also are available in a Robusto, Corona Larga, and Churchill. Medium -full bodied, Brick House cigars pair well with coffee, single-malt scotch, and aged rums. Please feel free to share your thoughts about these cigars with the Brothers of the Leaf.
