Cigar Boss - App Review


I moved “up” in the world recently.  That’s right, I bought a smart phone.  An HTC Desire.  My first thoughts on the name: feminine.  When I was able to get past the name, it was great from there.  Good phone, smooth operations etc, and a solid selection of apps.

One of the first things I set up was an accessible folder for cigar apps.  There are a number of them out there and as time goes by CigarTweaker will review some that are helpful, maybe some that are a novelty, and we’ll pass judgment on those that are a waste of time and SD space.

Cigar Boss app was one of my first downloads and the one I am using most frequently.  Cigar Boss can be found on the Play store on your android, or online at www.cigarbossapp.com.   It comes with some pretty standard features such as your virtual humidor “My Humidor”, new cigar news, a Top Ten section, but my personal favorite piece of the app is “Local Shops.”

There are very few true cigar shops, B&M, tobacconists, etc in our immediate area (within a 60 minute drive).  No matter where I am, this app helps me locate a B&M in the surrounding area.  Depending on where you are located, Cigar Boss can find you a variety store with a few sticks tucked away, or a fine shop with knowledgeable staff.  Simply tap the pin on the map, the name and address of the shop will appear.  Usually, the name is enough of an indicator; Leaning House Fine Cigars or Jim-Bob’s Convenience.  It’s a risk, but with a bit of double checking, you’ll be sure to become acquainted with a shop on your journeys.

Recommendation: Download and enjoy!

Do you use apps on your android?  Share them and if we can, we’ll take a look and review them.
