Maduro is a cigar tracker built for people who actually collect and smoke cigars — not an algorithm pretending to know your palate. CIGAR DATABASE Search a catalog of over 27,000 cigars across 3,300+ brands. Every cigar shows wrapper, binder, filler, origin, strength, sizes, and manufacturer. The biggest free cigar database out there. HUMIDOR INVENTORY Build and manage multiple humidors. Add cigars in one tap, track quantities, and see how long each one has been aging. Move cigars between humidors, or log one as gifted, traded, or lost — your full inventory history stays intact. TASTING JOURNAL Log a smoke in seconds, or go deep. Rate it, tag flavor notes, break it down by thirds, note the draw and burn, record what you paired it with, add photos. Your cigar journal, your pace. CIGAR STATS Top brands, strength preferences, rating trends, monthly activity, and your best pairings — all pulled from your own journal. Not a recommendation engine. Just your data, tracked honestly. CIGAR BAND SCANNER Can't find a cigar in the database? Our cigar band scanner identifies it from a photo and adds it automatically. Spot something wrong? Submit a correction — every cigar in the database gets better because collectors keep it honest. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No social feed. No public profile. Your humidor, journal, and photos stay on your device. Community ratings and price data are anonymous and opt-in, never required. WHO IT'S FOR - Collectors managing a real humidor inventory, not a spreadsheet - Aficionados who want a proper tasting journal without the busywork - Anyone tired of apps that try to tell you what to smoke next - Beginners who want to learn a cigar's blend before they buy it No ads. No subscriptions. No premium tier. Every feature, free, for everyone. Built by an aficionado, for aficionados.

YOUR COLLECTION, DONE RIGHT Build a catalog you're proud of. Add cigars in seconds with smart autocomplete, and track each purchase as its own aging lot so you always know what's resting and what's ready.

Cedar prefills the add-cigar form—brand, line, and details—so logging a new stick takes a tap, not a paragraph. LOG EVERY SMOKE Remember what you actually thought. Rate each cigar across five sub-ratings—construction, draw, burn, flavor, and finish—then keep or override the overall score. Add tasting notes, pairings, and the moment, and build a personal reference you'll come back to. • Five sub-ratings with an overridable overall rating • Tasting notes, pairings, and photos • A searchable history of every smoke KEEP YOUR HUMIDOR IN RANGE Dial in the environment that protects your investment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Maduro Cigar Tracker at 5.0 against Cedar's 4.5. Maduro Cigar Tracker also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Cedar's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (147 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
