Contact usDon Vitola is a web app (a PWA) — you use it right in your browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens and feels just like a native app. We chose this on purpose: instant updates, one account across every device, full offline support, and no app-store gatekeeping or 30% fee between us and you.
On iPhone, open Don Vitola in Safari, tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen.” On Android, tap the install prompt or choose “Install app” from your browser menu. On desktop, use the install icon in your browser’s address bar. After that it launches from your home screen or dock like any other app.
Yes. The free plan is the whole app — unlimited humidor and journal, the wishlist, the catalog, the lounge finder, and cigar aging — with no credit card and no signup pressure. The premium tiers only add the AI features on top.
AI photo identification, unlimited sommelier chat, AI cigar assessments from your tasting notes, and multiple humidors. Two tiers: Connoisseur ($5/mo) for the AI features, and Aficionado ($10/mo) for unlimited contextual chats and web search.
Anytime, from account settings — upgrade, downgrade, switch between monthly and yearly, or cancel. Changes take effect immediately, unused time is prorated, and you keep access through the end of your billing period. Your data is always preserved.
Point your camera at a cigar band and Don Vitola identifies the blend, vitola, and origin in seconds, then files it straight into your humidor — no typing, no guessing. It’s part of the premium tiers.
Ask it anything. It knows your humidor, your ratings, and the full catalog, and it recommends cigars that fit your taste, suggests pairings, and answers like someone who’s been at it for decades.
Your humidor, journal, and tasting notes work fully offline — that’s by design. The AI features (photo identification, sommelier chat) need a connection because they run on remote models.
Encrypted in transit and at rest, on Google Firebase’s infrastructure, with Stripe handling all payments — your card details never touch our servers. Your humidor and notes stay private.
Always. Your collection and notes belong to you, and you can delete your account and everything in it from account settings whenever you want.
