Published name
Keep the spelling, capitalization, language, and exact wording used by the producer, grower, breeder, or source.
Plant identity
Name the plant. Keep the claim attached.
Seed identity, cultivar, hybrid, growing location, leaf role, and a name used in cigar marketing describe different things. Preserve each claim at the precision the evidence supports.
Private record fields
Separate the claim before comparing cigars.
One product name can compress lineage, geography, style, and storytelling. Preserve the original language, then normalize only what a reliable source supports.
Source-defined category
Record whether the source calls it a cultivar, variety, line, hybrid, seed, ancestry, family, style, or leaves the category undefined.
Plant and place
Keep breeder or seed authority, crop year, country, region, farm, field, and cultivation method in distinct fields.
Component scope
Identify wrapper, binder, filler, whole blend, or product-name-only scope only when the evidence supports it.
Evidence state
Attach the source, date, production period, confidence, conflicts, and whether the claim is producer-described, independently verified, or unresolved.
Do not infer the experience
Agronomy creates possibility—not a tasting verdict.
Disease resistance, yield, field fit, plant position, curing, fermentation, blend architecture, construction, storage, and smoking conditions can all matter. Keep sensory notes attached to the cigar you observed; do not use them to authenticate genetics.
