Today I have the pleasure of reporting on one of the latest releases from Hiram Solomon cigars. This one is known as the Traveling Man. Considering all the traveling around the world I’ve done this past year, it seemed appropriate that I would sit in my homestead and enjoy this in quiet solitude. The company released the Traveling Man at this years IPCPR and I was there to talk to Fouad Kashouty, Founder and CEO of the company.
Not being a Mason myself, I asked about the name Traveling Man and why it was chosen. You see Masons, back in the day, used to travel from job to job. In fact Master Masons would travel great distances because of their experience they could find work. Today, a Master Mason is one who seeks the light, that is Travels from West to East. Seeking the light is synonymous to seeking knowledge. So the more one travels the more knowledge, information and understanding they have.
I suppose you could say that Hiram Solomon has been traveling and learning about the art and craft of cigars, sharing that knowledge with all they come in contact with. They started with the basics, the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. Now they have added the Traveling Man, the Veiled Prophet, and the Shriner.
It has an Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper and Dominican filler and binder.
Lets move on with this journey shall we?
For this review I sampled the Traveling Man Torpedo.
Overall, the Hiram Solomon Traveling Man was a delightful smoke. It had terrific flavor with a solid core of cherry and spice. The cocoa and almond were an added bonus. The burn was issue-less adding to the almost 2 hours of smoking pleasure.
