Brick House Corona Larga

The Brick House Corona Larga is a medium-to-full-bodied, hand-rolled Nicaraguan cigar that has become one of the great value benchmarks in the modern market. Measuring 6¼" × 46, this classic vitola wears a hearty, reddish-brown Nicaraguan Havana Subido wrapper over premium Nicaraguan binder and long-filler tobaccos, each aged over a year in the Nicaraguan mountains for a smooth, rich and consistent smoke. Construction is flawless — a slow, even burn and an easy draw that reveals real layers of complexity. Widely praised and widely awarded, Brick House has earned Cigar Aficionado’s “Best Bargain Cigar” recognition and a place in its Top 25, and remains one of the most talked-about value cigars anywhere.

About Brick House

Brick House is a historic brand from the J.C. Newman Cigar Company, America’s oldest family-owned premium cigar maker. It was originally launched in 1937 by Julius Caesar Newman, who named it after his childhood home in Hungary. The brand lay dormant for decades until 2009, when Julius’s grandsons Eric and Bobby Newman revived it — this time capturing that old-world, Cuban-inspired flavour through specially aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. The revival was an immediate success: Brick House quickly earned a reputation for delivering flavour and quality far beyond its modest price, and it remains one of the most respected value brands in the industry, backed by more than a century of Newman family cigar-making.

Tasting Notes of the Brick House Corona Larga

A bold, creamy, medium-to-full smoke with real depth for the money.

- Initial Third: Opens with bold earth, cedar and leather over a peppery spice and subtle sweetness, with hints of coffee and toasted nuts forming a creamy, smooth core.

- Middle Third: Flavours deepen with more pronounced woodiness, spice and a touch of cocoa; a nougat-like sweetness appears, balanced by a tea-like tang and cherry notes.

- Final Third: Intensifies with lingering spice, toasted cedar and a gentle bitterness; a long, satisfying finish of earth, leather and a hint of vanilla sweetness.

- Aroma: A bouquet of cedar, earth and toasted nuts, with a mellow, slightly sweet undertone and hints of pepper.

- Mouthfeel: Creamy and smooth with a velvet-like texture and ample volume — a consistently enjoyable draw.

Fun Facts About the Brick House Corona Larga

The brand is named after Julius Caesar Newman’s childhood home in Hungary — a literal brick house, and one of the reasons the modern band still carries its old-world, heritage feel.

Brick House was originally a 1937 creation that vanished for decades before being revived in 2009 by the founder’s grandsons — a genuine piece of American cigar history brought back to life rather than a modern invention dressed up as heritage.

J.C. Newman is the oldest family-owned premium cigar company in the United States, still operating from its historic Tampa factory — so behind this value cigar sits well over a century of continuous family cigar-making.

FAQ About the Brick House Corona Larga

Why is Brick House so highly regarded for the price?
It repeatedly wins “best value” honours — including Cigar Aficionado’s Best Bargain Cigar — because it delivers the flavour, construction and consistency of far more expensive cigars, thanks to well-aged Nicaraguan tobacco and over a century of Newman family expertise.

Is the Corona Larga a strong cigar?
It is medium-to-full-bodied — flavourful and satisfying with real backbone, but balanced rather than overpowering, making it enjoyable for a wide range of smokers.

Are Brick House cigars Cuban?
No — they are Nicaraguan, made with aged Nicaraguan tobaccos chosen specifically to evoke an old-world, Cuban-style flavour.
