Group cigar tastings, captured

The cigar notes your circle actually finishes.

Group Draws turns a herf — five sticks, eight opinions, smoke that shifts across the thirds — into a structured, shareable record using GDAT, the Group Draws Approach to Tasting. Hosts add the cigars, tasters scan a share code, and a live dashboard shows what the room actually thought.

Free to start. Collector tier (via The Registry) lifts daily limits and unlocks bigger flights. Already have a code? Join a tasting.

How it works

Three steps, no setup overhead.

1
Add the cigarsType a name or pick from dropdowns — vitola, ring gauge, wrapper, origin, and strength auto-fill as you go. Fill what you know, leave what you don't.
2
Share the codeA short share code (or QR) joins your tasting from any phone. Optional blind mode keeps the bands off until you reveal.
3
See the resultsA live dashboard shows the flavor cloud across the thirds, draw/burn/construction reads, and how the room ranked the flight. Polished notes are one click away.

What's in the box

Designed around how a circle actually smokes.

For the host

Live aggregate dashboard

Flavor clouds with the descriptors your tasters actually picked, broken out by first, second, and final third — plus draw, burn, ash, and the room's construction read.

For the table

Blind mode + guess-the-cigar

Hide the bands until reveal. Optional guess fields for wrapper, origin, strength, vitola, and price tier — the table earns bragging rights and you find out who's been paying attention.

For the record

Polished AI tasting notes

Turn each taster's GDAT sheet into a paragraph of prose with one click. Saved to their profile, ready to copy into a journal or share with the room.

For saved cigars

Bring it from The Registry

Collector hosts can pull a flight straight from their Registry humidor. The cigars arrive with provenance — vitola, wrapper, origin, photo — pre-populated.

Sister product

Group Draws and The Registry, one Collector account.

The Registry is the private record of what you collect: cigars in the humidor, what's resting, what you've smoked. Group Draws is where you actually taste with people. One sign-in spans both — pull a cigar from your Registry humidor into a Group Draws flight, and the polished note flows back to your collection record when the tasting closes.
