Newman has done an exceptional job at allowing us to enjoy quality cigars with great flavor at an even better price. I haven't tried the EB but plan to after enjoying the BH so much. You couldn't have made a better choice for the inaugural award. I second it! Excellent commentary George; when I smoked the BH I couldn't believe it was a $5 stick.

I think they did a great job with these smokes, especially the BrickHouse. I agree with you George. I think they did a great job with these smokes, especially the BrickHouse.

The surprising thing is that it is such a departure form their company norm: the Diamond Crown cigars are truly great smokes, but far from worth the asking price; and the Diamond Crown lounges, while very nice, are bastions of the exclusive and well-to-do because of their prohibitive membership and cigar prices. I would love to see the attitude exemplified by Newman in El Baton and Brick House work its way into some of the other areas of the company: Diamond Crown cigar price reductions would be a great first step.

C. Newman's impressive efforts this year! I've noticed their excellence, as well, and feared it would continue to fly under the radar of recognition. One of my very favorite new cigars this year is the San Cristobal Lancero, which I desperately hope will become a regular-production item with a quickness. I'm so pleased that you're highlighting J.
