The Brick House Bricktoberfest 2025 had an average flavor profile throughout. There was a fair amount of transitioning, but the overall profile never was all that exciting even though the flavor list was complex. This is a big cigar that gives a long smoking time at a good price point, but it isn't something that has me eager to return to.
The Brick House Bricktoberfest 2023 started out with an engaging and interesting first third, while the second and last thirds weren't as dynamic for me, the flavors were still balanced and pleasant. Despite the overall rating, this cigar was pleasant to smoke and I enjoyed the restrained nature of the strength.
The Brick House Bricktoberfest 2022 had a pretty average flavor profile throughout. The stale/cardboard effect on the cedar along with the dry earth just didn't really intrigue me. I don't really see myself coming back to this cigar, but if you like a drier, cedar and earth focused flavor profile, it might be worth a try.
The Brick House Mighty Mighty Maduro provided an above average smoking experience, with flavors that ranged from sweet bread to toasted earth. Construction was excellent, with some minor resistance to the draw. This cigar would appeal to smokers who really enjoy the darker and toasted flavors, and prefer larger ring gauge formats.
Overall, I enjoyed the Brick House Double Connecticut Corona Larga. I especially enjoyed the heavier body and for the most part, standard array of Connecticut shade cigar flavors (cream, cedar, herbal tea, nuts, baking spices). All in all, pretty good effort by J.C. Newman.
