Hiram & Solomon Cigars has entered into a distribution partnership with Kohlhase & Kopp that will now service retailers in Germany.

In a press release, Hiram & Solomon Cigars said that the move solidifies its intent to expand its footprint in Europe “and offers a unique proposition to cigar aficionados across the European continent.”

The Kopp brothers, Oliver and Thilo, along with Peter Witzke, ceo of Kohlhase & Kopp, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, lauding the unique profile of Hiram & Solomon Cigars in a statement. “The brand’s novel appeal as the first premium cigar brand targeting Freemasons, as well as non-Freemasons, sets it apart in a saturated market. Moreover, the brand’s commitment to quality and its unique approach to the art of cigar creation aligns with Kohlhase & Kopp’s high standards.”

Hiram & Solomon Cigars also has a notable social responsibility agenda, as the company donates a portion of its profits to several charity projects, including the Shriners Hospitals, a network of non-profit medical facilities across North America.

Kohlhase & Kopp distributes a number of premium cigar lines in Germany, including Arturo Fuente, My Father Cigars, Tatuaje, Rocky Patel, E.P. Carrillo, Padrón and PDR Cigars, among others.

Hiram & Solomon had previously been distributed in Germany by Casagranda Cigars GmbH.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
