Brick House (or Brick House Cigars) is a brand of cigars handmade in Nicaragua by the J.C. Newman Cigar Company.

The Brick House brand was created in 1937 by Julius Caeser Newman, founder of the J.C. Newman Cigar Company. He named the cigars to honor his family home in the Hungarian countryside; a brick house that housed the Newman family residence on the top floor and a local tavern they ran on the bottom floor. Original Brick House cigars were made using Cuban tobacco. The brand faded in time, but in 2009 it was revived by third generation owners Eric and Bobby Newman using Nicaraguan tobaccos[1].
The cigar has received several awards including the Best Bargain Cigar of 2009 by Cigar Aficionado[2] and Cigar of the Year by Two Guy's Cigar Shop[3].
