AI identification
The Cigarista AI reads the band typography, wrapper shade, oils, veins, foot, and ring gauge to identify the precise marca and vitola of any cigar in your hand. No more guessing, no more “I think it was a robusto.”
Open the camera. Frame the cigar in any light, wrapped, banded, or half-smoked. One tap.
The AI scans the band, wrapper shade, oils, and veins. Most identifications return in about ten seconds with a confidence score.
Send it to your humidor, your wishlist, or write a full review with craftsmanship, aroma, and enjoyment ratings.
The Humidor
Every cigar you own, organized into a private ledger. Quantities, aging time, last smoked, origin, vitola, rating — all of it surfaced where you’d want to look first.
The WishlistFree
Keep a parallel list of cigars you don’t own yet. Mark anything as a Grail and it gets its own animated badge in your collection forever. When you finally land one, “Got one” moves it to your humidor in a tap.
The LedgerPremium
Every rating you write feeds your What I Likeprofile — a plain-English summary of your taste, written from your own reviews. Then it picks cigars you haven’t tried yet that fit your palate.
Coming this season
Cigarista was always a private ledger. Now it’s a place to show your collection off, compare with the rest of the community, and share the smokes that stopped you mid-conversation.
Every review you write gets its own public URL with a beautifully designed share card. Drop the link into X, iMessage, Slack, or Discord and it unfurls into a full preview — wrapper photo, rating, the traits that stood out, your one-line verdict. Readers can comment without leaving the page, and if they’re curious enough, install the app.

Public leaderboards by collection size, rarest grails, longest aging, and average rating. Opt in, climb the boards, get nerdy.

Browsing your humidor, wishlist, and previously identified cigars works offline. New AI identifications need a connection because the model runs in the cloud.
Around 92% on a clear photo of an unsmoked, banded cigar. Accuracy dips for very rare regional releases, heavily damaged bands, and partly-smoked sticks. When the model isn't sure, it surfaces top candidates so you can pick.
