The Opportunity
Your guests already want a cigar. Right now they have to leave your floor to buy one.
Tonight, without Humidor Ai
What walks out the door
- A guest wants a good cigar after dinner. Your floor doesn't sell one, so he drives to a smoke shop, and the rest of his evening goes with him.
- Staffing a tobacco counter means payroll and training, and the 21 and over rules are strict enough that most operators leave the revenue on the table.
Tonight, with Humidor Ai
What stays on your floor
- The same guest walks thirty feet, verifies his age in seconds, and is back at the bar with a cigar in hand. The next round and the rest of the night stay with you.
- It costs the venue nothing. No installation fee, no staff, no maintenance, no inventory to carry, and the licensing responsibility sits with us.
A guest who leaves to buy a cigar spends the rest of his money somewhere else. Humidor Ai keeps him in the building.

Wrapped to match your room
Every placement gets a custom wrap designed by our studio, so the machine looks like it was built for the room. Black lacquer for a casino floor, pearl for a resort, cherry wood for a club. Elevator delivery lowers every cigar gently, and guaranteed sensors credit the guest automatically if anything misses.
Compliance
A stricter age check than any bartender can give, and it never gets tired.
Identivend AV3000 verification, built for unattended sales of age-restricted products.
Step 1
Biometric Scan
The camera reads the guest's face and estimates age.
Step 2
ID Verification
The guest scans a government ID. The machine checks its security features and matches it to the face in front of it.
Step 3
Approved
Verified in about thirty seconds. The purchase completes by card or phone.
The guarantee
- Meets and exceeds the 21 and over tobacco rules
- Two checks, the face and the physical ID, so a borrowed or fake card gets nowhere
- Every transaction is logged. No identity data is ever stored.
- No judgment calls at last call. The machine runs the same check on every guest, every time
What it means for your venue
- The venue carries no compliance liability. Humidor Ai holds the licenses and the responsibility
- Equipment and inventory insured by us
- Compliance reports available on request
- A better check than a staffed counter, and it runs all night
The Signature
A tobacconist who knows every cigar in the machine, and your bar menu.
Walk up and ask it a question out loud, the way you would ask the person behind the counter at a good cigar lounge. "Something mild I can finish in half an hour." "What pairs with a rye old-fashioned?" "I liked the last maduro. What's next?"
The sommelier answers in a warm voice, in real time. It knows every wrapper and growing region, it knows exactly what is in the machine tonight, and it recommends by palate, by occasion and by budget. It can walk a beginner to a first cigar without talking down to him, and it pairs cigars with your bar menu, which turns a cigar sale into another round.
The sommelier is the signature of Humidor Ai and it is coming to every placement. Your guests get a concierge without you hiring one.

The Model
You give us the floor space. We handle the rest.
Installation
On us
A professional install with no disruption to your floor. We handle power, placement and setup.
Licensing & compliance
On us
Tobacco licensing and age verification are our responsibility, not yours.
Stocking & inventory
On us
We watch sales remotely, restock on a schedule and keep the humidor fresh. The mix follows what your guests actually buy.
Insurance
On us
Equipment and inventory are insured by us. Damage to the machine is our cost, never yours.

Custom design
On us
A wrap designed for your room, so the machine looks like part of the venue.
An amenity in the real sense of the word. Everything handled, nothing owed.

Wherever adults gather for an evening, it works.
Foot traffic is the only real requirement. These are examples.
Bars & Lounges
Cocktails and cigars have always belonged together. Now the cigar is thirty feet from the drink.
Casinos & Card Rooms
Guests who never want to leave the floor don't have to.

The back nine and the clubhouse patio are cigar country, and the pro shop never has to staff it.
Hotels & Resorts
An amenity guests remember, open long after the gift shop has closed.
Destinations & Events
Landmark venues, galas and private events where thousands pass through in a night.
It carries its own doorman. We favor 21 and over settings because they keep compliance simple, but the machine checks every buyer wherever it stands. The AV3000 checks every buyer, every time, in any location.
The Collection
Curated like a good humidor, stocked like a retail floor.

Premium cigars hand-selected by a twenty-year cigar professional and matched to your clientele. They pair naturally with your bar program.
