Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium to light

Pre-light: Medium brown Colorado shade wrapper. Nice construction. A little bumpy and veiny but I don’t know seems ok. Musty / musky tobacco scent. Not much prelight taste.

Light: Pretty easy. Medium to light draw.

1st 3rd: Sweet with a bitter ring aftertaste. Some leather and some of that mustiness in the prelight flavor. A mild spicy kick. Medium to full body with medium flavor. Some oily in there too, but basically a good straightforward smoke sofar.

Ash: Dark gray and medium gray. Tiny black speckles and perfectly layered. Holds on for about 1”

2nd 3rd: Straightforward smoke. Almost all the same flavors as mentioned above. Got a little crack in the wrapper, but not affecting anything. Sweet tobacco, musty ring. Bitter is gone now and the leather flavors are the most dominant now but not overpowering. Good.

3rd 3rd: Lots of the same. Flavors have died down at this point into more of a leathery ashy flavor. It is at it’s end now.

Overall impression: Good cigar. I can see this a welcomed standby, but there are other go-tos I’d prefer.

Thank you Mangyrat for sending me an additional toro to review!

Nice. I have on in the humi just waiting to be smoked. Good job Will. :smiley20:

Nice review Will :smiley20:

Great review Will, I dug this smoke too.

:smiley20: That's a fair appraisal.

Thanks for the review Will. I may have to try this one. Looks oily and a little stout. Just my style.
I smoked a Perdomo-2 Limited box pressed maduro robusto today and they are VERY musky... matter of fact the review would be "musky musky and more of the same with a tad of sweetness". Well maybe a litte more but you get the drift.

"Someone" sent me some of these in a trade and are a fantastic "go-to" cigar. Again, thank you sir for a great cigar as I hadn't heard of these and with the help of a BOTL it's been added it to my humidor stock.

Solid review of a good cigar.

I've smoked a few of these. Pretty decent stick IMHO. I'm diggin the churchills the most. A box will be bought soon I think.

Looks like a great cigar to me! Are these the same "brickhouse" cigars that I have seen advertized as a bundle? Usually they have the word "brickhouse" with red bricks in the background. I guess I was expecting to see some of that on the band for the cigar, so it kinda threw me off. Are these the same? Roger.

I believe these are made by or distributed by Arturo Fuente and are not a bundle cigar.

Edit: My bad, JC Newman actually it seems, not AF. http://www.brickhousecigars.com/

I think you're referring to "The Brick" by Torano.

Thanks everyone for the clarification! :smiley2:

Thanks for the review!

Great review,haven't seen these before but will be looking for them now thanks Will.

I just had a brickhouse and it tasted just like i remember it but the damn thing cracked badly.:smiley7:

This one sat in my humidor for 3 days.
I may have to lower the RH a little, to see if that is the problem.
Im starting to think its the way the cigar is constructed.
