J.C. Newman Cigar Co. is adding a new large-format cigar to its Brick House Maduro lineup, with The Commodore Maduro set to debut at PCA 2026 in New Orleans.
The cigar measures 5.5 x 70, making it one of the largest offerings in the Brick House portfolio. It will be offered in 25-count boxes as well as five-count humidor bags, with pricing set at $11.50 per cigar and shipping expected in June.
“Brick House is known around the world for its outstanding taste, flawless construction, and excellent value,” said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman. “Our most popular Brick House size is the 6.25” x 60 Mighty Mighty. This year, we will hand roll 1.1 million cigars in that vitola alone. The Commodore is Mighty Mighty’s big brother. It recognizes the popularity of larger ring gauge cigars, but its standard 5.5” length makes it more approachable than the typical 7” x 70.”
Like other Brick House Maduro cigars, The Commodore uses a Brazilian Arapiraca maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, produced at the company’s PENSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
“When you light The Commodore, you take command,” said Newman. “As captain of your ship, prepare to set sail on a bold three-hour cigar journey.”
The release is one of four new products J.C. Newman plans to introduce during this year’s trade show.
