Cigar inventory

Chuck N

Does anyone here keep an inventory of the cigars they own? I have a friend that told me about an app that will allow you to inventory every cigar. He says its really cool and you can see every thing you have right there. To me it seems like a real pain in the azz. First of all to spend all the time to record every cigar, then you would have to add or delete every time you buy or smoke one. Im just wondering if anyone does this?

I did for a while, then I just kept living my life. It turned out to be a hassle imo.

same as rain. when i had 50-125 cigars and was only smoking once or twice max a week it was awesome but once you get over 250-300 and smoking 5 times a week it just becomes a pain to maintain.

I've thought about it at times, but I kinda like the surprise that comes with those rare adventures to the bottom of the cooler.

It knda seems a waste of time going to a stroke sheet every time I smoke one. I use facial expressions and utterances to keep a loose count.

I like the idea of knowing exactly what I have but I don't think I would keep it updated. Maybe if I wanted to keep inventory of cigars I was specifically aging.

It still sounds like a pain in the azz, but I could see maybe doing the aging humidors and not doing the ones Im in and out of all the time.

I do the Google Drive spreadsheet thing too, but I'm not very good and keeping it up-to-date. I found it helpful at first when we were smoking a lot of new stuff and I wanted to remember if I liked it or not. Now if something is that good, I tend not to forget it anyway. Every once in a while, I'll organize the humidors and try to sync up my spreadsheet. Seems like a good idea for someone starting off to help see a picture of what you've like so you know what you might want to try next.

I'm a type a, anal-retentive data guy so mine is up to date on Google drive. I wrote a little script to so that if I type "no" in a column under distribution it takes the whole row and moves it to an archive sheet. I also have a number of pivot tables that help me organize.

I do keep an inventory on an excel file. What kind and size of cigar, when i got/bought it, how much it was and who it was from, and how many (in case of box/pack purchase). It is really simple and I have it broken down into my three lists: cooler, smoking humi and long term humi. I bet i only smoke one cigar every few weeks these days so it is easy for me to update. In the summers, when I smoke the most, I might not get around to updating the inventory right away. I just keep the bands and delete them from the list when I have time. Do I still miss some that I buy, trade or smoke? Sure, but no big deal to remove them or put them on when I notice.

I use an app that came with the original operating system, it's called my eyes. Here's how it works; I open humidor door, I SEE cigars, I close humidor door, inventory done. Conclusion, I have cigars. This hobby is about relaxation so I keep it as simple as I can.

Thats pretty damn easy with a 20 count.

Mine are in alphabetic order but on my own language.

Would you think it wierd if I told you that sometimes when I get stressed I open up a spreadsheet and try to do something interesting with it? That relaxes me almost as much as a cigar.

I downloaded an app. That's as far as I got. I would like to keep an accurate inventory, but I know it would be a pain, as many have already stated.

I started out with good intentions, spread sheet, logged everything lots of details, reasonably well updated for about a year, lost it to cyber-space when my laptop crashed, to lazy to retrieve it. Found a really cool app that has a virtual Humidor with all the details to go along with, I think I actually entered maybe 10 diff sticks. It's to overwhelming too start over. I can generally remember if I have a particular cigar, sometimes even where it might be.
