What is Cigarbase?
Cigarbase is an AI-powered cigar companion app designed for enthusiasts who want to identify, collect, and explore premium cigars. The app uses advanced image recognition trained on a curated database of over 52,000 cigars from more than 400 brands across 30 countries. Users can photograph any cigar or band to instantly retrieve the brand name, blend, country of origin, wrapper type, ring gauge, strength profile, and community tasting notes. Beyond identification, Cigarbase includes a digital humidor for tracking collections, an AI Sommelier for personalized pairing recommendations, and The Lounge — a social community connecting enthusiasts worldwide. The app is available on iOS and Android in six languages: English, German, Turkish, Spanish, French, and Chinese.
AI Cigar Scanner
The Cigarbase AI Scanner is a computer-vision tool that identifies cigars from photographs. Users point their smartphone camera at a cigar, cigar band, or box label, and the AI returns a match from 52,000+ database entries within seconds. Each result includes the manufacturer, blend name, wrapper leaf type, binder, filler origin, ring gauge, length, strength rating (mild to full), and detailed flavor profile with tasting notes.
Digital Humidor and Collection Tracking
The Digital Humidor is a collection management system that lets users catalog every cigar they own, smoke, or wish to acquire. For each entry, users can record the purchase date, price, vendor, quantity, storage location, and aging duration.
AI Sommelier — Personalized Recommendations
The AI Sommelier is a recommendation engine that analyzes each user's taste preferences, past ratings, and smoking history to suggest cigars they are likely to enjoy. Beyond cigar-to-cigar recommendations, the Sommelier suggests food pairings, drink pairings, and occasion-based selections.
