Cigar Shop Ready is a digital program designed to help individuals who are new to cigars learn the basics of cigar selection, smoking etiquette, and conversational skills needed to feel comfortable in a cigar shop or lounge. The program functions as a structured 30-day guide that combines short, written lessons with practical weekly assignments. Users are instructed to read one lesson per week, smoke one guided cigar that corresponds to a recommended style, and complete a tasting journal entry. The program also includes a cheat sheet for conversational phrases and questions to use when interacting with a tobacconist. The main features include a 30-day playbook available as a PDF and in online lesson format, a list of four cigar styles to smoke progressively from mild to more complex, and a tasting journal for tracking preferences. The program explicitly avoids requiring expensive equipment, prior smoking experience, memorization of numerous brands, or access to an experienced friend. It is designed for self-guided use, requiring only the ability to purchase individual cigars at a local shop. Typical use cases involve a beginner who wants to enter a cigar shop without feeling intimidated. The workflow spans four weeks: each week, the user reads a short lesson, purchases a cigar of a specific style, smokes it slowly while recording observations, and then visits a shop to practice asking questions and using terminology from the cheat sheet. The program emphasizes learning through direct experience rather than through online research or forum browsing. The program is currently offered at a beta price of seven dollars, which will increase to twenty-seven dollars after October 18, 2026. It operates entirely through downloadable PDF files and online content accessible via a web browser. No specific hardware, software, or app installation is required beyond a device capable of reading PDFs and accessing the internet.
