Hiram & Solomon Curamus

The Hiram & Solomon Curamus is a limited edition cigar. It was created for MW Robert V. Monacelli, grand master of the Most Ancient and Honorable Society of Freemasons for the State of New Jersey. “Curamus” is Latin for “we care,” which is used as a mantra for the Freemasons. Proceeds from the sale of the cigars will go to the White Flower Society and the Almoner’s Fund for the Scottish Rite of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. The cigar features a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper placed over a Mexican binder and Dominican and Pennsylvania Broadleaf fillers. The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic by PDR Cigars.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
USA Pennsylvania
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Pennsylvania maduro cigar wrapper comes from Connecticut Broadleaf plants grown in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. This maduro cigar wrapper is said to be more spicy and leathery than its Connecticut cousin. Though this is not a very attractive leaf, it is appreciated for its rich, full flavor.
Binder
Mexico
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Mexican tobacco is primarily grown in the San Andres region due to its volcanic soil. It has a very distinctive flavor with a spicy and earthy profile. As a binder it adds to the cigar’s overall flavor.
Filler

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
