The private cigar sommelier.
Cigar A.I. is a private, invitation-only cigar sommelier — an app that identifies what you're smoking, tells you exactly what's been verified against real sources and what hasn't, and keeps your own journal and humidor. It's operated by The Cigar Connoisseur Society, a membership institution for people who take cigars seriously.
What it does
Type a cigar's name or scan the band, and Cigar A.I. returns its origin, wrapper, binder, filler, strength, and tasting notes in seconds. Log what you smoke to build a private journal. Track your humidor and your wishlist. None of it is shared with other members — your cellar and your notes are yours alone.
Verified, not guessed
Every field on a cigar's card is checked against trusted sources before it's shown as fact. When a detail can't be confirmed, the card says so plainly instead of filling the gap with a plausible guess. That's the whole honesty system: a claim is either verified against a real source, stated as reported-but-unconfirmed, or left blank — never invented to look complete.
What membership means
Cigar A.I. is by invitation only, and membership is numbered — the Founder's first hundred invitations are reserved personally. An invitation isn't a marketing gate; it's how the Society keeps the membership itself the point, not a growth metric. Membership is extended in waves — request an invitation at cigarai.app.
What it refuses
Cigar A.I. carries no advertising, and no manufacturer or retailer can pay for placement in a recommendation or for "verified" status in the catalog — a card is accurate or it isn't; nothing changes that for a fee. There's no public feed, no social layer, no engagement mechanic built to hold attention. Individual data is never sold or shared with a third party; the product is funded by membership itself and by anonymized, aggregated research — never by anyone's individual record, never traceable back to a member.
The full detail — what's collected, what's never shared, and how to reach us — is in the privacy policy.
