Hiram & Solomon Entered Apprentice Connecticut Shade Robusto cigars arrive in boxes of 20, handcrafted at Nicaragua’s Plasencia factory representing the first Masonic degree with a golden Connecticut Shade wrapper from Talanga over matching Connecticut Shade binder and fillers blending Nicaraguan Habano Ometepe, Pennsylvania Broadleaf, and Paraguayan leaves. This 5 x 52 robusto delivers mild-to-medium body over 45-60 minutes, producing creamy silky smoke with sweet white pepper notes, escalating cinnamon hints, wood, subtle fruit, coffee, nuts, and toast that culminate in a clean refined finish. Praised for smooth draw, even burnline, and approachable sophistication ideal for morning or novice sessions, the Entered Apprentice offers harmonious introduction to the Masonic progression series supporting Shriners Hospitals for Children.
