Hiram & Solomon Releases Curamus
Hiram & Solomon has released its newest cigar, Curamus, a limited edition cigar that the company specially crafted for MW Robert V. Monacelli, Grand Master of the Most Ancient and Honorable Society of Freemasons for the State of New Jersey.
The Curamus is a 6 x 52 toro that uses a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper, a Mexican-grown binder and a filler that includes Dominican corojo seco and ligero, Dominican criollo ligero, and Pennsylvania broadleaf. It has an MSRP of $10 per cigar before taxes and is offered in 20-count boxes that contain a Boveda pack for freshness during transportation, the first time that the company has included the humidification pack.
“Our latest addition to the company’s portfolio is named Curamus, a Latin word which translates to ‘We Care’, a simple, yet important mantra for Freemasons,” said Fouad Kashouty, owner of Hiram & Solomon. “Like those that preceded them, Curamus will follow in the tradition of giving as noted in a letter from the MW Grand Master, which states a portion of the proceeds will go to the White Flower Society and the Almoner’s Fund for the Scottish Rite of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction.”
The Hiram & Solomon Curamus is made at PDR Cigars in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, and is the first time that the company and factory have worked together to produce a cigar. Production is limited to 450 boxes and is currently available via the brand’s website but will be released to retailers in the near future.

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 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.
