A rubric you rebuild
Pre-light, third by third, technical, and retrohale as its own field rather than an afterthought. Hide any parameter, reorder the rest, add your own — and score on your scale: five stars, ten points, or the hundred-point scale.

Your journal stays yours.
The club sees only what you show it.
Humidor Club is a tasting journal for people who already know their way around a cigar. Clubs are the layer on top: build your own circle, invite the people you actually smoke with, and open exactly as much as you want — one club, one toggle at a time.
The journal
Built for people who already know
No tutorials, no glossary, no beginner hand-holding. Humidor Club opens with a full professional tasting sheet and then gets out of the way — fast enough to use while the cigar is still burning.
A flavour wheel, not a text box
Tap what you actually notice — cedar, leather, espresso, cocoa, black pepper, earth, cream — with intensity, and where it lands: tongue, palate, retrohale. One tap each. Nothing slows a session down.
Your palate, as data
After thirty sessions the journal starts telling you things you cannot tell yourself: which origins and wrappers you genuinely rate higher by your own numbers, the blind spots your scores point at, and how your taste has moved over the years.
A sommelier that knows your shelf
Scan a band to fill in a cigar, ask what to smoke tonight from what is actually resting in your humidor, or find something close to one you liked. The AI features are optional — the journal is complete without them.
The club
A room, not a feed
There is no global timeline here and no follower count. A club is a small named circle — the Thursday regulars, the Cuban heads, the back room of one shop — and everything inside it belongs to the people in it.
Members and their humidors
See what the people you smoke with actually keep on the shelf and how long it has been resting. Only from those who chose to show it, and only inside the club where they chose it.
Tastings, published on purpose
A review here is simply a tasting you decided to share. The rubric, the descriptors and the photo come from the entry you already filled in — you add a verdict in your own words and nothing else.
The page for one cigar
Pick up something new and see who in your clubs has smoked it: their scores, the notes people kept writing down, and whether one is already resting in your own humidor.
Taste match
An average score from strangers is worth very little
Your palate is already data — the journal has been reading it since your first session. Inside a club that data does something useful: it tells you whose opinion actually predicts yours, and weights everything else accordingly.
“Andrey’s palate overlaps yours by 78%. He gave it 92.”
Getting in
Three ways through the door
A club is closed by default. Its founder decides which of these are open — and can close them again at any time.
1
By invitation
A code or a link from a member. Whoever invited you stays visible on your profile: invite badly, and everyone can see who let them in.
2
By application
Fill in your profile, write a couple of lines about yourself, and wait for the founder or a moderator to approve you.

From the catalog
Some clubs choose to be listed publicly, and every one of them is reviewed before it appears there. Private clubs never need our approval — and never show up anywhere public.
Privacy
Nothing is published by default
The app was built as a private journal and it stays one. Clubs do not change that rule — they add a door that only you open, one club at a time.
- Two separate toggles in every club — your humidor and your tastings. Show colleagues one thing and close friends another; the settings do not travel between clubs.
- Prices never leave your device. Not to a club, not to us, under no setting. A humidor can be worth thousands, and that is nobody else’s business.
- Membership without publishing is normal. You can join, read, and never post a thing. Nobody is told that you are quiet.
- Deleting your account erases it. Profile, photos, everything you published — removed from the database and from disk, not flagged as hidden.
17+
A club that stays a club
Cigars plus an open platform is a combination that goes wrong quickly, so the rules are short and they are enforced. 17+ only. No selling, trading or passing tobacco between members — ever, in any form. Nothing abusive, about anyone. Reports go to the platform, not only to the founder of the club being reported, because a founder cannot be the sole judge of their own club.
Get started
Clubs are created in the app
Humidor Club is an iOS app. Sign in with Apple, fill in your profile — name, photo, region — and your first club takes about a minute. Everything you had in the journal before stays exactly where it was: on your device.
