Brick House Double Connecticut Mighty Mighty

The Brick House Connecticut Mighty Mighty brings the approachable Double Connecticut blend to an imposing 6¼ × 60 format.

Its name refers to two different types of American Connecticut tobacco. A genuine Connecticut Shade leaf forms the wrapper, while a Connecticut Broadleaf leaf serves as the binder. Beneath them is the Nicaraguan filler blend used as the foundation of the Brick House range.

The Mighty Mighty is handmade at J.C. Newman’s PENSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Its round 60-ring-gauge body produces a broad mouthfeel and a large volume of smoke when enjoyed at a measured pace.

Expect a toasty opening with cereal and gentle pepper, followed by roasted nuts, brown sugar, vanilla, cream and light wood. The profile remains approachable, although the Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan filler provide more depth than the pale wrapper may initially suggest.

The exact 6¼ × 60 Mighty Mighty received 89 points from Cigar Aficionado in December 2023.

The Brick House Brand

Brick House is one of J.C. Newman Cigar Co.’s longstanding cigar brands.

The original Brick House brand was introduced in 1937, later discontinued and eventually revived as a Nicaraguan premium cigar line.

The modern collection includes different blends, such as:

• Brick House Classic
• Brick House Maduro
• Brick House Double Connecticut

Double Connecticut was developed for customers seeking the character of genuine Connecticut tobacco in a smoother and more approachable Brick House blend.

What Does Double Connecticut Mean?

The term Double Connecticut does not mean that the cigar has two wrappers.

It refers to the use of two different Connecticut-grown tobacco components:

• Wrapper: U.S. Connecticut Shade
• Binder: U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf

These leaves differ in cultivation, color and flavor.

Connecticut Shade is lighter and smoother, while Connecticut Broadleaf is thicker and generally contributes greater earth, sweetness and spice.

The combination allows the cigar to remain approachable while offering more depth than a conventional mild Connecticut-wrapped blend.

Genuine U.S. Connecticut Shade Wrapper

The Mighty Mighty uses genuine Connecticut Shade wrapper tobacco grown in the United States.

This distinction matters because many cigars described as “Connecticut” use Connecticut-seed tobacco grown in Ecuador, Honduras or another country.

The U.S. Connecticut Shade wrapper can contribute:

• Cream
• Toast
• Cereal
• Cedar
• Mild pepper
• Light sweetness
• A pale natural appearance

U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf Binder

Beneath the light Shade wrapper is a U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf binder.

Broadleaf tobacco is generally thicker, darker and more robust than Shade tobacco. As a binder, it can contribute:

• Earth
• Pepper
• Brown sugar
• Natural sweetness
• Greater body
• Structural strength
• A richer tobacco core

The Broadleaf binder is one reason the blend offers more flavor than its light wrapper may suggest.

Nicaraguan Filler

The filler consists of Nicaraguan tobacco.

It forms the core of the cigar and contributes:

• Wood
• Roasted nuts
• Earth
• Coffee
• Pepper
• Toasted character

The filler is not from Connecticut. The Double Connecticut designation applies only to the wrapper and binder.

Mighty Mighty Format

Mighty Mighty is J.C. Newman’s official name for this 6¼ × 60 vitola.

Its dimensions are:

• Length: 6¼ inches
• Metric Length: Approximately 159mm
• Ring Gauge: 60
• Approximate Diameter: 23.81mm

Round 60-Ring-Gauge Construction

The Mighty Mighty has a conventional round parejo shape rather than a box-pressed format.

Its 60 ring gauge provides:

• A broad mouthfeel
• A substantial volume of filler tobacco
• A cooler burn when smoked slowly
• A large volume of smoke
• Approximately 75–100 minutes of smoking time
• A longer session than smaller Robusto or Toro formats

Customers accustomed to cigars in the 42–52 ring-gauge range may find the Mighty Mighty unusually broad.

Mild-to-Medium Strength

J.C. Newman officially classifies Brick House Double Connecticut as mild.

Cigar Aficionado classified the exact Mighty Mighty as mild-medium. Retailers also commonly position the blend between mild and medium.

The most balanced product-page wording is:

Strength: Mild to medium

The cigar may suit:

• Connecticut wrapper enthusiasts
• Customers exploring large ring gauges
• Smokers who prefer approachable strength
• Fans of creamy and toasted flavors
• Brick House customers seeking a lighter blend
• Morning or daytime cigar smokers
• Intermediate smokers
• Customers seeking a long smoking session

Although mild to medium, its large size contains a considerable quantity of tobacco. It should still be smoked slowly and preferably after food.

Flavor Profile

The Brick House Double Connecticut Mighty Mighty offers a creamy and toasty profile with more depth than its pale wrapper may imply.

Customers may experience:

• Toast
• Cereal
• Roasted nuts
• Brown sugar
• Vanilla
• Cream
• Cedar
• Light coffee
• Gentle pepper
• Subtle earth
• Natural tobacco sweetness

The opening may emphasize toast, cereal and pepper.

Roasted nuts, cream and vanilla can become more noticeable through the middle section. Brown sugar and subtle earth may appear as the Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan filler become more prominent.

The finish can be slightly dry, particularly if the cigar is smoked quickly.

Individual tasting experiences vary according to storage, smoking pace, production batch and palate.

Is the Cigar Flavored?

No. Brick House Double Connecticut Mighty Mighty is not marketed as a flavored or infused cigar.

Brown sugar, vanilla, cream and coffee are natural tasting descriptions. No added sugar, vanilla, coffee or artificial flavoring is confirmed.

The cigar should not be confused with infused or sweetened-tip products.

Is Mighty Mighty the Same as Gordo?

Mighty Mighty is J.C. Newman’s proprietary vitola name.

Gordo is the general market term commonly used for broad cigars with a ring gauge around 60.

Cigar Aficionado categorizes the Mighty Mighty as a Grande, while several retailers use Gordo.

Is Claro the Official Variant Name?

Some retailers describe the light Connecticut Shade wrapper as claro.

Claro is a color term commonly used for pale or light-brown wrappers. It is not the official name of this Brick House blend.

• Gentle pepper

Brick House Maduro

• Darker Maduro wrapper

Estimated Smoking Time

The 6¼ × 60 format provides approximately 75–100 minutes of smoking time.

A slower smoker may extend the session beyond 100 minutes, while frequent draws can shorten it.

Factors affecting duration include:

• Draw frequency
• Humidity
• Wind
• Resting intervals
• Burn rate
• Lighting technique
• Individual construction

Its broad ring gauge should not be smoked quickly, as excess heat can hide its cream, vanilla and roasted-nut character.

How to Cut a 60-Ring-Gauge Cigar

The wide cap requires a cutter capable of accommodating the full diameter.

Suitable options include:

• Large double-guillotine cutter
• Wide single-guillotine cutter
• Large-ring V-cutter
• Cigar punch

For a straight cut:

1. Inspect the cap.
2. Position only the required section inside the cutter.
3. Cut quickly with a sharp blade.
4. Avoid removing the shoulder.
5. Test the draw before lighting.

A small cutter may compress, tear or unevenly cut the 60-ring-gauge head.

How to Light the Mighty Mighty

The broad foot requires patient and even lighting.

1. Hold the cigar above the flame.
2. Rotate it while warming the complete foot.
3. Toast the outer edge before concentrating on the center.
4. Take gentle draws while continuing to rotate.
5. Inspect the foot for unlit sections.
6. Correct only the areas requiring additional heat.

Rushing the process can create an uneven burn from the beginning.

Recommended Smoking Pace

Allow approximately 45–60 seconds between draws.

Smoking too quickly may:

• Overheat the filler
• Increase bitterness
• Reduce creaminess
• Create a dry finish
• Make pepper more aggressive
• Produce an uneven burn
• Shorten the smoking time
• Make the final section excessively warm

If the cigar becomes hot, place it in an ashtray and allow it to rest naturally.

Storage Recommendations

Store the cigar inside a properly maintained humidor.

A suitable general range is:

• Relative Humidity: Approximately 65%–70%
• Temperature: Approximately 18°C–21°C

Avoid:

• Refrigerators
• Freezers
• Direct sunlight
• Hot vehicles
• Excessive humidity
• Very dry storage
• Perfume and incense
• Repeated temperature changes
• Long-term storage without humidity control

Large 60-ring-gauge cigars can develop a tight or uneven draw when stored at excessive humidity. Allow an over-humidified cigar to stabilize gradually.
