Hiram & Solomon Entered Apprentice is part of a line of quality cigars produced by Fouad Kashouty and George Dakrat. Hiram & Solomon founders Kashouty and Dakrat are members of the Freemasons, which is an organization that is dedicated to charitable work and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Hiram & Solomon cigars goes to charity. Each Hiram & Solomon cigar is named after a degree in the Freemasons ranking system, and Entered Apprentice is the first stage.

This stick has a light to medium body profile and comes wrapped in a golden Connecticut Shade leaf out of Honduras. It is then bound by the exact same sort of shade leaf for double the smoking pleasure, which is practically unheard of when it comes to Connecticut Shade cigars. Tobacco from the volcanic island of Ometepe in Nicaragua, Pennsylvania, and Paraguay constitutes the internal mix. Together with the double Connecticut Shade outer leaves, the blend intensifies while still providing a clean finish along with creamy, smooth smoke and sweet overtones accented by white pepper and cinnamon.
