Hiram & Solomon Cigars has announced that production of its Ashlar cigar has resumed after a pause that followed the passing of the cigar’s original roller.
The Ashlar was created to commemorate the company’s 10th anniversary and first debuted during the 2025 PCA Trade Show in New Orleans. The project was intended as a reflection on the company’s first decade and the principles that have shaped the brand.
Production was halted shortly after the cigar’s introduction when the master torcedor responsible for rolling the blend passed away. According to the company, the cigar had been produced exclusively by that individual, which led Hiram & Solomon to stop production rather than alter the construction.
In the months that followed, the company trained a new torcedor under close supervision in order to replicate the cigar’s construction, including the handling of its wrapper and overall build.
“With production now complete, Ashlar will begin shipping in priority sequence to partners who supported the release early on.”
The company says the cigars will now begin shipping to retail partners that had previously committed to the project.
