Cedar is the cigar journal built around your collection. Catalog every cigar, log every smoke, and keep your humidor in the right range—all in one place made for enthusiasts. 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 call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Libre Humidor at none against Cedar's 2. Libre Humidor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Cedar's advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
