## What is Cigar Scanner & Tracker?

Your private cigar journal.

Puro helps you manage your cigars across humidors, log detailed smoking sessions, monitor aging, and understand your preferences over time — all in one place.

Start free, then pick the plan that fits your journey. The free tier lets you log your first humidor, your first cigar, and your first smoking session. Basic unlocks unlimited entries and every feature except AI; Premium adds the AI-powered tools. Basic and Premium include a free 3-day trial — no payment required to get started.

ORGANIZE YOUR COLLECTION
Create multiple humidors with custom humidity and temperature targets.
Add cigars with full details: brand, vitola, origin, wrapper, strength, quantity, and price.
See exactly what you own — and what's ready to taste.

LOG EVERY DETAIL
Capture every session from first draw to final third.

DETAILED SESSIONS
Log notes across each stage of the cigar: cold draw, first third, second third, and final third.
Use the flavor wheel to map profiles and rate draw, construction, flavor, and aroma with precision.

AI CIGAR BAND SCANNER
Scan a cigar band to quickly fill in key details: brand, model, vitola, origin, wrapper, and strength.

DRINK PAIRING
Record what you pair with each cigar — whisky, rum, coffee, wine, or more — and build your own reference over time.

AGING TRACKER
Set target dates and follow the aging progress of your cigars.
Receive reminders when they reach their peak.

### 5/5 — Good solid app

*2026-07-29*

I like to rate and review on the fly and this is one app I’ve had no issues with.

**Developer response:** Thank you! It means a lot to hear that you've had a smooth experience. Feedback like yours is incredibly motivating. If you have any feature requests or suggestions, feel free to send them through the Settings tab in the app. I personally reply to every message within 24 hours.

### 3/5 — Great concept, needs work!

*2026-07-29*

Update, still a 3 though! I don’t like that you can’t take the “low alert” banner off in your humidor, and that you can’t do anything about the “restock” option in your humidors! I buy tons of singles I may never have another one in that humidor! Currently I have like 40 restock cigars in my one humidor and 35 of those I will probably never find again or are different vitolas meaning at some point I could have hundreds of cigars in there!

Let me start by saying the APP is great overall, I like keeping track of what and how much  I have in each humidor. That said, to have unlimited humidors costs a monthly or yearly fee, which ok I get it but where is the money going? You only get 30 AI band scans a month which supposedly fills out the Brand, name, wrapper but half the time it’s wrong anyway! The AI cost estimates are ridiculous, my worth was at $700, I put in a box of cigars took none out and it dropped to $603. The camera feature sucks bad!! You take a picture and it self crops it how it wants with no rhyme or reason behind it! You center your band in the frame and it crops it to show only the bottom half….things like that! Just seems like they took a great idea, charge a monthly/yearly fee and gave you an app that should be free

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed and honest feedback.

You've highlighted three important concerns: collection valuation accuracy, AI scan reliability, and the camera cropping experience. All three have been heard loud and clear. A major update is already in development and is focused specifically on improving valuation stability, scan accuracy through better data verification, and giving users more control over image scanning. Since the app's release just two and a half months ago, six updates have already been shipped, and I remain committed to continuously improving the experience through regular updates.

Regarding the subscription, that's a fair question. This app is built and maintained by a single person, not a big company with a team behind it. The reality is that subscriptions are the only sustainable way to maintain and improve the app. Subscription revenue helps cover AI services, infrastructure costs, store fees, and the many ongoing costs required to keep the app running. It also supports the one person behind the app who continues maintaining it and building new improvements. Advertising alone would not generate enough revenue to support those costs.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. Reviews like yours help shape what gets improved next, and I hope the upcoming update addresses many of the issues you've raised.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-05-23*

There are apps out there that do more things and way better than this one for free or less money 
This app has too much unnecessary interaction and keeps telling me my subscription expired and i haven’t done anything 
The “smoking sessions” or cigars lack the picture option
The retro look is not my thing with the icons that took me back to 1996

**Developer response:** Thanks for the candid feedback,  it helps more than a silent low star.
Several of your concerns were actually addressed in v2.2.0, and will be available in a few days:
• Photos are now supported for cigars, humidors, and smoking sessions: take one in-app or pick from your library.
• "Subscription expired" false alerts : we tracked down and fixed several bugs where active subscriptions were being incorrectly flagged as expired. 

If anything is still broken after the update, please use Contact Us in Settings. Every message gets read, and bug reports go to the top of the list. Looking forward to hearing from you again after the update.

### 3/5 — Lots of Potential

*2026-05-12*

This app has great potential. The design and journal options are really nice, but there are some frustrating quirks; the AI fill is inaccurate, the low stock alert blocks your sorting options, the photo viewer can only be exited by closing the app entirely, and the price estimate button gets repetitive when adding multiple cigars. Add an in-depth rating mode, the ability to transfer cigars between humidors, and fix these issues, and this would easily be my go-to app.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

**Developer response:** Thank you again for taking the time to write such a detailed review, it genuinely helped shape the next release.

Good news: a patch is already on its way and will roll out to the App Store in the next few days as Puro v2.1.0. It addresses everything you mentioned:

• Photo viewer now has a clear close button + swipe-down-to-dismiss
• Low-stock alerts are collapsible so they never block your sort options
• Price estimation is now strictly manual : no more repetitive prompts when adding cigars in a row
• AI fill has been upgraded to a stronger model with stricter accuracy rules (it will leave fields blank rather than guess)
• Cigars can now be transferred between humidors directly from the edit screen
• In-depth rating mode is in, with a spider chart that visualizes every dimension of your session

Please don't hesitate to reach out for any other requests, ideas, or issues. We will update the app ASAP whenever something comes in. Reviews like yours are exactly what we need to keep refining Puro.
