How do you keep track of what’s in your humidor?

brainfrz

I’m trying to get ideas on how to keep track of what’s in my humidor and when it was placed.  How do you guys do it?

Some people keep journals. There's websites that have software for spreadsheets to keep track of your humidor. If you have an iphone, there's an app for it. Me? I just use the 'ol noggin.... I've got a pretty insane memory for details. I can't remember to get eggs when I go to the store, or to change the oil on the car, but I know almost exactly when I got the GOF that's resting in my humi!!!

I can't help sneaking a peek every now and then, so that's how I remember what I have available . . . no idea what I'm gonna do once I get enough that I can stack them

I use a program called Cigar Briefcase. It is a free download online and it lets you input the cigar brand, name, type, country, length, ring gauge, date purchased, date smoked, rating, price, where you got it and a spot for notes. It keeps track of what you have in the humidor and you can move it to your humidor history so it keeps track of what you have had in there as well. Its a basic program but it works well.

Looks good, I think I'll give that a try.  i like the HumidorHistory feature.

how do you like that program? I just looked at it and am pretty pumped about it! how long did it take you to pump in all your info? I have about 500 in there right now...so it could take a while of data entry...

I agree with Wing on this one...some time ago I inquired about an app or software for tracking cigar inventory. I have several humidors and three large thermidors and two large tupperidors...I can just about tell you exactly what is in each of them. I keep a detailed journal of everything I smoke...(stiks that is...) I also keep each of my invoices so that I can have a better idea of how long I have had each item for my aging inventory. I would still love to have an application for my pc and I am almost convinced that I should buy an I-phone just because so many people have mentioned that they are the only ones with an appropriate app for cigar inventory. BTW None of the software offered at these websites have proven to be workable for me.

I have an app for that! Seriously...I have an app on my Iphone called Mobile Stogie. It's a great tool. I entered my cigar inventory into it and update it everytime I smoke. Also exports it to an excel spreadsheet when you wanna email it out to someone. It's a great tool. Well worth the $3 I paid for it.

Howdy all, as we were all talking about this yesterday I downloaded the CigarBriefcase deal on to my computer. It is actually pretty cool! I couldnt get all of my smokes in but I got a good chunck (bout 200) in there in around an hour. Afterwards, I smoked a Gurk Empire IV, walked back to my computer, hit the "Add to my cigars" button, and it put all the info I had put in about that cigar over in to the basically the "smoked" screen and aloud me to write up a little review and rate it. Also, Phil, thanks for sending me that Excel sheet. IF I had multiple humis that one would work a heck of alot better.

For everything that is in most of hy humis, I remember. Maybe not how many I have but what I have in there. As for tupperware and zip lock bags, I know some but not all. I have too many.

I am going to try this Cigar Brief Case. Hope it works well

I'm torn between the spreadsheet and Cigar Briefcase. I have a Mac so I can easily use the spreadsheet, however I installed Briefcase on my work computer and it's got some nice bells and whistles.
