A cigar journal — not a store
Every cigar deserves to be remembered.
Scan the band, keep the photo, hold onto the moment. Banded is the quiet place your cigars live on after the ash is gone — a private collection that builds itself.
For adults of legal smoking age only (21 in the United States (or the legal smoking age where you live)).
What Banded is
A journal, not a store.
Banded helps you remember cigars you’ve already enjoyed — closer to a tasting notebook than anything else. No cart, no checkout, nothing for sale.
We don’t sell tobacco
No shop, no cart, no checkout. Banded never sells cigars or helps you buy them.
We don’t promote smoking
No ads, no nudges. It simply records what you’ve already chosen to enjoy.
Your collection is private
Your scans are yours. Nothing is shared unless you deliberately hand it to a crew.
How it works
Three taps to a kept memory.
Scan the band
Point your camera. Banded reads the band and names the cigar — no typing, no guessing.
Keep the photo
The photo you took becomes the card. Add a rating, a note, and the place — or just save it.
Remember it later
Every scan, in order, backed up across your devices. The night comes back when you open it.
A look inside
Made to be opened again and again.
Inside the app
Built for remembering, not buying.
Photo-first Collection
Every entry is the real photo you took — a shelf of moments, not stock images.
Band identification
Banded reads the band and fills in the details, so your notes stay about the experience.
Ratings & notes
A quick rating, a tasting note, the place and the date — kept exactly as you remember it.
Your stats
See your collection take shape over time — counts, countries, and how your taste trends.
Crews
Optional private circles. Share a scan with friends only when you choose to — never by default.
Backed up & synced
Your Collection follows you across devices, safe if your phone ever isn’t.
Privacy
What’s yours stays yours.
We don’t sell your data, and we don’t run advertising trackers. To identify a band, the photo is sent to a trusted AI provider and the result comes back — that’s the only place your scan travels. Read the details in our Privacy Policy.
- No selling of personal data, ever
- No third-party advertising trackers
- Sharing is opt-in, per scan, per crew
- Export or delete your collection anytime
