About

LEAF

Features
Read full description

LEAF is a private cigar journal and reference catalog for adults 21 and older. Keep a personal record of every cigar you smoke. Log a rating, write a review, capture your own read on strength and body, add tasting notes and a photo, and note details like size, where you were, and price. It is your journal, kept private to you. Look cigars up in a shared reference catalog, and use Similar Profiles to compare cigars by their catalog details. This is reference information, not a recommendation to buy or smoke. Private by default. Your reviews, photos, and notes are shown only to you. LEAF does not sell tobacco, link to retailers, or process purchases. Usage analytics are optional and can be turned off in Settings. Sign in with Apple is the only way to sign in, so there is no additional password to manage. LEAF is a tool for recording and referencing your own experience. It does not encourage or promote smoking or tobacco use.
