For cigar brands
Hear from the people who smoke your cigars.
QRcigar is a small QR code on the cellophane. A smoker scans it in the shop and your page opens, about the cigar in their hand. After they smoke it they rate it. You hear how it burned and drew, what they tasted, and whether they’d buy a box.
Free for brands. A phone camera is all the smoker needs.
- Free QRcigar costs a brand nothing. You print the labels; that is the only expense.
- 400+ Brands already in the catalog, with their lines and vitolas. Yours is most likely one of them.
- Same day From your request to your first QR, usually.
- Permanent A QR never expires. A reprint draws the same one.
The reports
Answers to the questions you already ask.
Is the new blend landing? Did that batch draw tight? Which vitola do people come back for? The answers come from the people holding the cigar.
- How each vitola is received
- Burn, draw, and construction
- The flavor notes smokers pick
- Whether they’d buy a box
By line, by vitola, or by release: however you cut your QRs.
The infoblast
Your page, never fixed in print.
The page a scan opens is yours: your story, your photos, your colors. Change any of it and every label already out there shows the change instantly, because the QR itself never changes. Send us your text and artwork and we build it. To change it later, tell us or do it yourself in a minute.
- Built by us from what you send or built by you
- Images, video, links, your typography
- As much or as little detail as you want
- Only what you put on it: no ratings from other smokers
Getting started
On your cigars in three steps.
The first two take an afternoon, at a trade show or over email. There is nothing for you to set up unless you want to.

Watch the reports fill in
Scans show up as they happen. Ratings follow once people have smoked the cigar. As they add up you see how each vitola is being received.
