Frequently Asked Questions
What is CigarHounds?
CigarHounds is a premium cigar market intelligence platform. We aggregate price data, surface deals, and provide accredited investors with the analytical tools and confidential collateral needed to evaluate the premium cigar market as an investment category.
Who is CigarHounds for?
We serve three audiences: (1) accredited investors evaluating the premium tobacco market; (2) serious collectors who want price transparency and deal alerts before they buy; and (3) boutique retailers and producers who want competitive market intelligence. All users must be 21 or older.
How do I request investor access?
Click “Request Investor Access” on the homepage or visit the Investors page. You’ll review and sign our Non-Disclosure Agreement as part of a three-step wizard, then submit your contact details. We review every request personally and respond within 2 business days.
What is the NDA and why is it required?
Our Non-Disclosure & Non-Circumvention Agreement protects the confidential business intelligence, financial projections, and strategic relationships we share with prospective investors. It is a standard instrument used in private placements and is governed by Florida law. You sign it electronically as part of the access request process — your acceptance is timestamped, IP-logged, and permanently on file.
What is in the investor data room?
The data room contains our full strategic portfolio: business plan, financial models, site selection data, market intelligence reports, and pitch materials. Access is granted to approved investors who have signed the NDA.
Where does your data come from?
Our pricing and deal intelligence is sourced from public retail listings, active cigar deal communities (including Smoking Hub, Reddit’s r/cigars, and Cigars Deal Nation), and direct boutique network relationships. We curate and normalize the data into a consistent format and present it in the CigarHounds brand standard.
What is the CigarHounds 50 Index?
The CigarHounds 50 is a curated benchmark of the 50 most-tracked premium cigars in the collector market. It tracks price movement, availability, and collector sentiment over time — serving as a barometer for the broader premium cigar market.
Is CigarHounds available to international users?
Market intelligence and deal content is available globally. Investor portal access follows applicable securities laws in your jurisdiction. You must be 21 or older regardless of country.
