Top 5 Cigar Apps for iPhone

We’re repeatedly amazed at the growing number of customers who visit our sites via smartphone. We knew it would be a popular option, but now one out of five visits are made through a mobile device.

We’ve put together a list of our five favorite iPhone apps for the cigar fan. We excluded silly apps that display cigars burning on the screen, which you can fake-smoke by puffing on your iPhone’s microphone. It’s fun the first time, you show it off to your friends, and then you wonder what the hell you just spend a dollar on. The apps we chose are all functional, and for a small investment, they’ll turn your smartphone into a resourceful database of cigar facts and functions.
