Tracking What Cigars you have

sammyboy405 · 02-12-2011, 08:11 PM

So How do you keep track of what Cigars you have?

I thought id never be to this point but I have almost 3 small Humidors fulls and I never know What all I have with out digging them all out every time.

How does everyone keep track? Is there a good Mobile App? Computer Software? Spreadsheet? or Old Fashion Pen and Paper.. or do you just have that good of a memory? lol

kelmac07 · 02-12-2011, 08:11 PM

Good memory for me.

Three vinos and two desktops...and still have an idea what sticks and where they are. Plenty of tetris practice keeps the mind straight.

NCRadioMan · 02-12-2011, 08:16 PM

Memory here too. I used to keep track but that became too tedious.

sammyboy405 · 02-12-2011, 08:21 PM

Memory would be great. But I got enough rattling around in my brain lol Barely have enough room to learn a new programming Language it seems every day at work I gotta learn a new programming Language to meet the needs of the government.. lol

Im 1/2 tempted to write my own website that stores all the information for me and others who would want to.

mostly memory, soon ill make an excel spread sheet over a weekend with a complete inventory that ill make an attempt to keep up to date

Devanmc · 02-12-2011, 08:24 PM

if you can manage to keep it up today, that would work great.

I can't remember the last time I had a memory....it's all about looking into the box and moving sticks the old fashion way...by hand of course the next day I'm pissed at the wife for touching my cigars....see I have oldtimers and can't remember crap

Mine are all just jumbled up in my vino drawers. I just go and pick something, makes it fun.

Thats what I been doing..

I guess I have a small case of OCD and oldtimers lol

hotreds · 02-12-2011, 08:48 PM

I don't. I have neither RAM nor ROM memory.

So Far it sounds like the Majority is

1. Memory - Random Picks
2. Excel spreadsheet
3. Mobile Apps
4. RFID

Im going ahead forward with www.mycigarlocker.com If it pans out great.. if not.. It was fun creating it. Hopefully I have something that works in the next week or so.

E.J. · 02-12-2011, 08:57 PM

I have never really thought to worry about it. I have a pretty good idea of what I have in singles and know the boxes that I have. In the end, it is fun to buy, stash and smoke.

I also enjoy a surprise every now and then.

So like Hotreds, I don't....and don't plan on starting, regardless of how big the collection gets....

icehog3 · 02-12-2011, 08:58 PM

I just get suprised everytime I dig through the humidor, more fun that way.

too much work to have to update a spreadsheet every time you buy or smoke a stick. But then, maybe I am just lazy.

Creating the initial database is easy, but updating can be a pain. Especially when you start moving boxes from one cooler or vino to another or you get a few packages in on the same day and smoke a few as well. Easier to just sit back and smoke and be surprised.

This is very true... Updating all the time can suck....

My inventory is done by visual, take a look and see whats there. If you forgot about something, then its a nice surprise. Its not even worth trying to keep track.
