Search The Catalog

Find and compare

Steps

1. Open Catalog. The Catalog tab starts with Search, Add or Quick Custom Cigar, Browse by Brand, Browse by First Letter, and All Cigars.
2. Search by cigar identity. Search matches brand, line, and vitola text. Exact and prefix matches rank before contains matches, and search/filter choices reset when leaving Catalog.
3. Browse by brand. Browse by Brand shows brand rows first. Brand search is brand-only, and choosing a brand opens that brand's line and vitola rows while preserving the typed query.
4. Browse by first letter or all cigars. Browse by First Letter narrows the starting letter. All Cigars lists bundled and account custom rows alphabetically by brand, then line, then vitola, with progressive page loading.
5. Apply filters intentionally. Filters use draft Cancel, Reset, and Apply controls. Strength, body, availability, built-in flavor tags, duration bucket, rating source, and explicit Unknown selections combine with strict AND behavior.
6. Use Matcher for attribute-based narrowing. Matcher applies selected attributes as strict filters, returns matching cigar lines first, and then lets you choose a vitola.
7. Compare selected cigars. Comparison supports bundled and custom lines or vitolas, up to three entries, and shows catalog or private profile fields only.
8. Open vitola detail actions. A vitola detail can show reference profile fields, Catalog rating where available, private rating context, Add to Humidor, Wishlist, Favorite, Compare, or return actions based on the selected record.
