Overview
Group Draws gives cigar tasting hosts the structure of a serious tasting sheet without turning a herf, lounge night, or solo review into paperwork.
Its direction centers on three note depths — Quick Note, Follow the Cigar, and Full GDAT — with cold-draw capture, construction and burn reads, flavor across the thirds, optional blind mode, live aggregate dashboards, and polished notes that can flow back to The Registry.
- Hosts add cigars, share a code or QR, and watch notes arrive as tasters work through the flight.
- Choose Quick Note, Follow the Cigar, or Full GDAT; the full sheet captures cold draw, construction, burn, flavor across thirds, and final impressions.
- Blind mode, rankings, polished notes, and Registry handoffs turn a cigar night into a lasting record.
Built for
Hosts and tasters running cigar flights, herfs, blind tastings, club nights, or private solo cigar notes.
The goal is to make cigar tasting easier to host, easier to join, and easier to remember, while keeping Group Draws aligned with Group Pours and The Registry as one broader tasting ecosystem.
What matters most
- host-led cigar flights with one or more cigars, optional blind mode, and live session control
- join-by-code and QR workflows that let tasters move straight into their chosen note path from a phone
- structured cigar notes across cold draw, performance, thirds, retrohale, finish, and final impressions
- Quick Note, Follow the Cigar, or Full GDAT depending on the cigar and the room
- live flavor clouds, construction reads, rankings, and shareable group recaps
- solo tasting mode for private cigar notes without a share code
- AI-polished tasting notes for individual tasters and group recaps
- Registry handoff support so saved humidor cigars can enter a tasting and notes can return to the collector record
A cigar sibling to Group Pours
Group Draws follows the same tasting-system philosophy as Group Pours, but the workflow is cigar-specific. Choose Quick Note for an impression, Follow the Cigar as it develops, or Full GDAT for cold draw, construction, burn, flavor across the thirds, retrohale, and final impressions. Blind flights can add guess-the-cigar play.
- Hosts can run a room from a phone with share codes or QR joins
- Tasters can join a group flight or capture private solo notes
- Collector accounts can connect Group Draws notes back to The Registry humidor record
