Hi

Im developing a search engine & price comparison website for cigars,pipes & tobacco even though its still on a early stage of development the database has around 240.000 products from 194 retailers mostly located on USA/Europe.

Theres still alot to be done on the website like for example adding stock info, detailed merchant info etc.

This is a personal project im the only one working on it atm

Im totally open to suggestions and critics.

PS: if anyone has suggestions of shops to add on the site let me know, i will try to add asap.

Actually there arent many bugs, what it needs is to add more features and also im working on a few changes on my product database so that all products get matched by EAN/UPC.

I notice the shops that were missing but, when I did a search for JdN Antano Machitos it steered me right to a fair price! Not a bad app!

Very nice progress.  I'm looking forward to the end product!

the site is at 20% of how i want it to be, but i do this has a hobby so every 1% takes time :)

and thank you all for the nice words i was almost giving up when google banned me from adsense because its a site related to tobacco (even though many comparison websites have tobacco products and display adsense ads...guess mine is small and special)

Also thanks to the admins of cigargeeks.com (SenorPablo) for letting me post here.

It appears their website is under construction. Most shops that have an app are powered by Cigar Boss. If you browse through Cigar Boss cigar apps you should be able to see the majority of them. I only discovered this myself the other day.
