The Hiram & Solomon Heart & Soul is one of two limited edition releases introduced by the brand this year. This special cigar was created for Leonard Vander Horn, the Grand Master of Masons in New Jersey. The cigar reveals a harmonious flavor profile paired on a sweet base that is ever changing throughout the whole duration of the smoke.
Once lit, it brings aromas of nuts and wood to the palate, with vegetal nuances in the background. White pepper notes are added, with the base becoming sweeter. It turns to earth, black pepper, and coffee beans towards the end.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
