Brick House Fumas cigars are the company’s hardcore value smokes. While certain lines are reaching 90+ ratings with Cigar Aficionado (the Natural and the non-fumas Maduro), these are humble cigars designed to be enjoyed as everyday experiences, not specialty premium cigars for when you want a true luxury puff.
Brick House Fumas Maduro cigars are a takeoff on the standard Fumas blend from Brick House, just with a Maduro wrapper. The same sun-grown Sumatra leaf, instead of heading right off to the rolling table once fully cured, undergoes a fermentation process. This takes it from a natural leaf to the dark, rich, brown tobacco that we’re so used to in our Maduros. The flavor profile shifts from the standard to something earthier and a touch more sweet and mellow in strength.
Since this is a Fuma cigar, the filler blend is chopped tobacco that was trimmed during the process of making other stogies. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s not the intact long-filler leaf that marks the high-end cigars on the market. Rollers smoke it all the time, and it’s a highly economical way to experience quality tobacco. In fact, some long filler is used in the blend of the Brick House Fumas Maduro cigar, which makes it a “Cuban sandwich” stick, for those who like to keep up with cigar slang.
The flavor is there – light notes of cherry, cocoa, pepper, and a hint of sweetness. It’s an easygoing cigar for those who like Maduro flavors in their knock-around cigars. Take this one with you to mow the lawn, do projects around the house, or simply for a mindless drive. The price is right, after all.
