There is a Brick House event tomorrow at my B & M. I've seen mixed reviews here, but have never tried them first hand. The deals sound pretty good, any recommendations? Stay away?

Brickhouse are decent sticks IMO, that aren't the best cigar in the world but they make solid smokes...

I like Brickhouse a lot. Mix that with a good price point and I have them in the humi as much as I can.

Smoked a brickhouse the other day that I had resting for close to 2 years. Was very impressed with how it had aged. Very flavorful and wouldn't mind grabbing some more to let age. I enjoyed the before without age and even more with the age. Everyone's taste is different but I would go and grab some if the deals are good.

Haha. I just had a Brickhouse and did a search to see if they were just rebanded Gurkhas. The thing exploded like most Gurkhas and had the same flavor profile as most other way too big Gurkhas. Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks they aren't good.

Have enjoyed a BrickHouse or two, was not impressed on taste or flavour. But remembering it was somewhat on the power side I beleive, never had a wrapper exploed though. Plus, comparing them to Gurkas is not sensible.

smoked a fiver of toros..

first one with 2 months on it....good for 3 inches, then meh....

the other 4 all had 6 to 12 months on them......decent, solid cigar.......

problem imho is price point............MANY other sticks I'd buy before getting more of those (which I haven't)

^14. Bingo.

I like that these are among the small selection available at military exchanges. Used to be limited pretty much to Cuesta Rey, Unica and Quorum or some such. I rarely buy cigars on post, but when in a pinch, Brickhouse at about four bucks and change is very 'decent'.

Reviving this thread as Exchange selections was mentioned (dstieger). Any comments on Quorum 3 pack with Craftsman's Bench leather holder? Navy Exchange here has 'em for around $26, no tax. Yes, they still have Brickhouse too, so good to read the mixed reviews.

GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!
