About this app

Cigarista is the AI cigar scanner and digital humidor built for serious enthusiasts. Snap a photo of any cigar, get an instant ID with a confidence score, and log it to your collection in a single tap.

AI CIGAR SCANNER & IDENTIFIER
Point your camera at any cigar: band, wrapper, or foot. Our AI reads the band typography, wrapper shade, oils, veins, and ring gauge to identify the marca and vitola in about ten seconds, with a confidence score so you know how sure the model is. No barcodes. No guessing.

DIGITAL HUMIDOR & COLLECTION TRACKER
Your entire cigar collection, organized into a private ledger. Resting timers tick from the day you log a cigar. Running-low states surface when stock dips. Filter by origin with real flags for Cuba, Nicaragua, Dominican, Honduras, Mexico, and Ecuador. Stats and insights show collection value, average aging, top brands, and rating distribution.

CIGAR JOURNAL & REVIEW APP
Rate every smoke across craftsmanship, aroma, and enjoyment. Add traits, tasting notes, and a one-line verdict. Every cigar review you write feeds your taste profile and stays linked to the cigar in your humidor forever. The cleanest cigar journal and cigar rating app on Android.

GRAIL CIGARS & WISHLIST
Keep a separate cigar wishlist for everything you don't own yet. Mark anything as a Grail and it gets a rotating-gold border in your collection forever. When you finally land one, "Got one" moves it to your humidor in a tap. Browse a catalog of over 2,400 vitolas with community ratings on every entry.

AI TASTE PROFILE & RECOMMENDATIONS
Every rating you write feeds your What I Like profile, a plain-English summary of your taste written from your own reviews. Walk into any cigar lounge or tobacconist and know exactly what to ask for. Our AI then picks cigars you haven't tried that fit your palate, each with a confidence score and a reason for the pick. Think of it as an AI tobacconist who actually studies your taste.

SHAREABLE REVIEW CARDS
Every review you write gets its own URL with a beautifully designed share card. Drop the link into X, iMessage, Slack, or Discord and it unfurls into a full preview with the wrapper photo, your rating, the traits that stood out, and your verdict. Readers can comment without leaving the page.

CROSS PLATFORM SYNC
Your collection syncs securely across all devices. Sign in with Google or Apple for seamless access on Android, iOS, and the web.

Ratings and reviews

I recommend this one! I've tried a couple other cigar apps and some scanners don't work at all, some require a subscription to get any features...and Cigarista has a free option and very easy to use interface! Asked about adding some missing cigars from the search results and got a reply back from the owner, same day, on a Sunday, saying they would be added in the next update!

Looks nice but trying to add anything is difficult. Trying to add by searching names doesn't work because, as soon as you type in a second word, the list goes blank. You can only search by a single word. Cigars have long, flowery names so there is a lot of scrolling involved to see if what you're looking for is in the list. More often than not it's not in the list. There are also many, many lines per manufacturer. I don't know what kind of data the app pulls from but it's very incomplete.

Still doesn't work. Can't manually add cigars and the search is hit and miss. e.g. Partagas Lusitanias came up as Serie D.
