Keeping Inventory

[Sadden]

I had an app on my phone , but it was too much of a PITA to add or subtract cigars all the time.

It's easier to divide cigars into groups rather than keeping individual inventory.

I was heavily bombed, a few CI orders, Christmas gifting, trying to keep track while not impossible, instantly difficult.

I could magic marker the cellophane with year and date. Could take hours/days.

I use a simple excel spread sheet to keep my cigar inventory and it even works on my Android phone or tablet. The only time I have an issue is when I get too lazy to update all three versions to match. Been using this method for about 6 years and havent had any other issues.

I was inspired by this thread to do inventory today. I knew I had a lot of cigars but what I found was crazy. When the FDA started talking about a clamp down on cigars I hit the Devil Site hard. Too hard.
I found 21 boxes of Cuba Libre Ones after telling the bride I thought I had a half dozen or so. Proof there that large amounts of beer do make me do foolish things. I could just kick myself.

I use both Cedar and Cigar Boss apps on the iPhone. But I don't have the types of collections many of you have. I have between 25-40 cigars at any given time. Mostly singles sometimes I will buy a 5 pack or something like that.

I don't keep an inventory. I like to jump in like Scrooge McDuck and just see what I come up with.

I just did my inventory this weekend. I tried to find a good Android app for free but didn't like any of them. I ended up making a spreadsheet in Google Docs (Google Sheets) that keeps track of age, price, count and a block for some notes. I think this will work well as I can access it from my computer, or anywhere I can access the web, and there's a Google Sheets app for my phone. I think I can keep track of my modest stockpile with this.

Flynnster, what method did you end up going with for your inventory?

A pivot table would be good if you have a large inventory. Quick and easy tool.

I used to have an app and I was very dedicated to keeping track. At some point the app had an update and lost all my info. I never attempted to re-enter every thing.

Pants dollars are for buying more sticks not smoking. I go to my purchase history on ci or the devil site for dates or price I payed if I'm curious.

Large inventory + my increasing age = I forgot when I stopped keeping track. :-)

Being a noob, I keep a spreadsheet listing brand and type of cigar, where I purchased it, amount paid and then a final column where I describe the smoking experience and if I would purchase again.
