A QR code on the band or box lid links to a short video in your customer's language — blender introduction, tasting notes, origin story, pairing suggestions. No app required. Scans tracked by language and region.
One-time license. Self-hosted. Works on any band or box that accepts a QR code.
54 seconds — from scan to localized video.
Tasting notes don't translate themselves. A customer in Tokyo or São Paulo picks up a Nicaraguan puro and reads a band in English they may not fully understand. The character of the tobacco, the cedar note, the pepper finish — lost to a language barrier.
Physical packaging has a fixed surface area. You cannot print five languages on a 54-ring gauge band. The box lid gives you more room, but not enough for the full story — the farm, the fermentation, the blend rationale, the pairing guide.
QR codes on bands link nowhere useful. Some brands already print QR codes. Most link to a generic homepage — not a video, not a human voice, not anything a customer at a lounge counter actually wants to see.
ReelTag detects the customer's device language and plays the correct video automatically — no menu, no app, no friction.
The Blender Introduces the Cigar
Upload one short video per language variant. The maker talks directly to the customer — where the leaf was grown, how long it fermented, what the blend was built to express.
Tasting Notes, Pairings & Origin — Localized
Accompany each video with structured text: flavor profile, recommended pairing, wrapper and binder origin. All rendered in the viewer's language alongside the video.
Track Scans by Language and Market
Every scan is logged with language, timestamp, and region. See which vitolas scan in which markets and feed that data back into distribution decisions.
No proprietary hardware. No app store. A standard QR code and a self-hosted platform you control.
Upload Cigar Details & Blender Video
Add your vitola, enter tasting notes, upload a short video or paste a YouTube link for each language. Takes minutes per SKU.
Generate QR for Band or Box
Download a 1024px print-ready QR code. Give it to your printer alongside your existing band artwork. Works on a 38-ring band.
Customer Scans at the Counter
The viewer page opens instantly in the browser — no app download, no account. Language detected from the device.
Watches in Their Language
They see the video, read tasting notes, optionally leave feedback. You see the scan in your analytics dashboard.
These are illustrative examples, not real customer data.
A premium cigar manufacturer added ReelTag QR codes across 12 vitolas in their flagship line. Within 30 days, scans registered in 8 different device languages — including Japanese, German, and Brazilian Portuguese — markets the brand had not specifically targeted.

A regional distributor carrying three Central American brands added QR codes to their box lids before a trade show. Post-show analytics revealed significant scan volume from Japanese-language devices — demand they hadn't anticipated, prompting direct outreach to import partners.
