Habano Journal is the cigar enthusiast's tasting journal — built for people who take notes, remember favorites, and want a more thoughtful record of every cigar they smoke. THE CIGAR JOURNAL, REIMAGINED Log every smoke with editorial detail: name, brand, vitola, country, strength, wrapper, binder, filler, factory, release year. Capture flavor notes, rate the experience, save the moment with a photo of the band. Browse your full tasting history any time, in a clean, distraction-free format designed to read like a thoughtful magazine. SCAN A BAND, IDENTIFY ANY CIGAR Point your camera at a cigar band — Habano Journal's AI vision will identify the brand, line, and likely vitola, then pre-fill the journal entry. Tap to confirm or edit before saving. YOUR HUMIDOR, ORGANIZED Track exactly what's in your humidor by batch, quantity, and date acquired. Mark favorites. Build a Next Light queue for cigars you want to try. Smoke a cigar and the count automatically decreases. EDITOR'S PICK — A PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION, DAILY Every day, Habano Journal selects one cigar for you to consider — grounded in your taste profile, current humidor, and recent smokes. Refresh it any time. Add it to your Next Light list, or just keep browsing — the picks are informational, never prescriptive. ASK THE AI SOMMELIER Talk to an AI sommelier that knows your humidor and your taste. Ask "what should I smoke tonight from what I already own?" Get pairing suggestions for a drink you're having. Discuss flavor profiles like you would with a knowledgeable shop owner — without the pressure of being upsold. PRIVACY-FIRST AI features are entirely opt-in. All AI access requires explicit consent the first time you use it, and you can disable AI any time from Settings. We do not sell your data, do not run cross-app tracking, and you can delete your account and all associated data from within the app at any time. COMMUNITY (OPTIONAL) Share your cigar reviews publicly if you want — or keep your entire journal private. Follow other enthusiasts. Discover what people with similar taste are smoking. Every shared review can be blocked or reported. WHAT HABANO JOURNAL IS NOT We do not sell cigars, run a marketplace, glamorize tobacco use, or encourage smoking. Habano Journal is a journaling tool for adults who have already chosen to enjoy cigars and want a thoughtful place to record the experience. Habano Journal is for adults of legal smoking age in your jurisdiction. Tobacco use is harmful to your health and is addictive. Cigar smoking is not a safe alternative to cigarettes. — SUBSCRIPTION — Habano Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks AI band scans, Sommelier chat, Editor's Pick, and smart pairings. • Monthly — $5.99/month • Annual — $49.99/year • 7-day free trial for new subscribers Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
