- I spent too much time adding new cigars to the database.  If the stuff you like is already there, you are fine.  I liked Gurkhas and other brands that seemed to have a new cigar every week... so I was ALWAYS adding new cigars to the database.  (this is probably more of a problem with NC's vs. CC's) 
 
I am only tracking CC's so I don't find this to be a problem other than a few RE's or LE's now and again 
  
- Cigars flowing in and out became stressful because I had to make sure the count was accurate.  When friends came over, I had to write down what they took so I could update the inventory counts... made me feel like a cheap a$$ miser.Not hard again as incoming is mostly boxes other than the occasional trade pass or bomb 
  
- Cbid shipments should have been a time of joy, but it became inventory receipt data entry time.  Talk about buzzkill. I love adding boxes to my inventory 
  
- Inventory WILL get off.  Then the counts become useless once you can't trust the data.Naaaah I am way too anal retentive for it to be off, besides that is what test counts are for 
  
- Most importantly... It is much better to not track invenory and be surprised by a buried gem that you forgot about vs. KNOW that you have something you want in your humi "somewhere" and you can't find it.

 I have no desire to be surprised, and I track them by humi or fridge or cooler so this is not an issue. 
 
Again, this wasn't a request about the merits of tracking but about what tools are out there and if they are any good.
