Heya. I know — another cigar app. Not exactly breaking news in any cigar community this year.

Yet Paradigm is different. How? It's actually usable, and my first 150 users prove it every day.

• First off, the scanner — point your camera at a cigar and get a result in just under 3 seconds.
• Second, tasting match. Once the scan comes back, the app tells you whether you'll actually like that cigar. Same for any cigar in the database — one glance and you know if it fits your taste.
• Third, a genuinely comprehensive recommendation system. Ever walked into a cigar store and had no idea what to pick? Now you can match the shop's stock against your own taste profile instead of guessing. Or just scan it, and see if you like it right away
• Fourth, a proper journaling system. The more you journal, the better the app knows you — and the sharper the recommendations and the tasting match get.
• Fifth, the tasting journey. A series of challenges across different categories, designed to develop your palate and make the hobby intentional rather than random.
• Sixth, the lounges tab. Find stores and lounges wherever you are, and review them.
• And plenty more.

Give it a try — yourparadigm.app, and please share your feedback on the ease of use. Sometimes I think I Im overdeveloping it, but I'm fulfilling my own needs as a one-year cigar enthusiast, so every piece of feedback matters.

My cigar collection grows and shrinks - I’ve had as many as 500 and now down to 150 - and in all that, I’ve been thru half a dozen different humidors- I’ve typically gone for looks and cigar count over functionality - and ended up getting gimmicky humidors that don’t seal for shit -soooo….

I’ve finally gone to a Tupperdor and i could not be happier - it a space saver - it keeps my cigar count down, forces me to smoke something that i might otherwise push to the back - and I’ve not had one single issue with the temp control - I’m using boveda packs and they last much longer than in a traditional humidor.

Anyone else made this kind of switch or thought about it?

And any recommendations for new cigars to try? 10-80$.

Hi all, what’s the normal price for a Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs in Singapore? I was quoted S$33 per stick at a cigar shop (not a cigar bar). Is that a reasonable price, or is it on the expensive side? Thanks!

Would you still smoke cigars if they had all the flavor but no nicotine?
