Just wondering if there's anyone here that is so anal, or has so many stix, that they take actual written down or typed inventory of their stix? I'm fightin' the urge. Or am I weird?

There was a time when I had a spreadsheet, but my "Stash" is far beyond what I would call a "Stash" at this point. It's more like a closet. I have a closet, practically, dedicated to cigars. I like not having a list... makes it fun when I dig to the bottom and find something I didn't know I had, or at least had forgotten about!

You have a point there!docbp87:There was a time when I had a spreadsheet, but my "Stash" is far beyond what I would call a "Stash" at this point. It's more like a closet.

I used to, that was before the cooler! Now I just try to date them when they come in.

I can't wait till my stock gets to that point where I can go in and surprise myself

I do for ones that I buy, and I put a sticker on every cello with the date I got it. I also try to take notes on my thoughts about cigars ive smoked.

+1 I put a date on every stick and keep a dossier of my thoughts and keep the band of cigars that I smoke. I think I have around 3000+ sticks so I lose track of things purchased 3-5 years ago.taythegibs:I do for ones that I buy, and I put a sticker on every cello with the date I got it.

Mine are on my phone. "Rate my Cigar". I love it. Keeps inventory. How much I've paid. Vitola. Wrapper. Origin. My tasting notes (& any other notes). How long they've rested. When I enjoyed it and with what drink pairing. Picture(s). My overall rating.

Hey Doc, want to do a trade?...Problem is, with that many cigars, what in the world would you need?

Agree with doc...I setup a spreadsheet once to calculate the cost and my inventory... I should never have done that. I have a walkin closet of humidors downstairs and 10 upstairs in my study. I like variety, kinda like wine and scotch.

There's proabaly a whole crap-load of Fuente too! Mmmmmm Fuente.docbp87:There was a time when I had a spreadsheet, but my "Stash" is far beyond what I would call a "Stash" at this point.

I don't take inventory because I love to lose stuff in my "20 count" and finding it later; especially when I forgot I even had it. Besides, j0z3r and I get to trade stories of "lost and found" and "how long was it lost in the humidor", usually it involves 5 packs or samplers.

kcw where in mass do u live?

I enjoy Arbelour 12 yrs and The Balvenie Doublewood.
-
Making and maintaining a list sounds like work. I know what I've got, more or less, and rediscovering something I forgot about is great.
-
I've not had either of those. The problem with Scotch is that I either really like it or I really don't, and education can be painful..htm2010:I enjoy Arbelour 12 yrs and The Balvenie Doublewood. -
Bandyt had a 4 sheet Excel spread sheet once. And I've seen his stash, that was but a portion of the hoarding. Probably just his cigars for bombing and trading lists.
-
I did once a couple of yeara ago but I have so many now it would take days and patience which I don't have.
-
Arbelour has a silky smoky taste with elements of spice and vanilla. The Balvenie Doublewood has a nutty,cinnamon with a little spice. Just drink em strait, no rocks or anything in a scotch glass. I don't drink that muxh so a bottle lasts me quite awhile,
-
I try to keep track....especially since I'm just getting into the hobby and there's so many new cigars I've never smoked, I'd rather spend $$ on something I don't have in my humi vs spending it on a duplicate of a stick I already have in stock & haven't smoked yet.Salem:Just wondering if there's anyone here that is so anal, or has so many stix, that they take actual written down or typed inventory of their stix?

But then again I'm pretty big on impulse buys if there's a good deal on here and in that case I completely ignore my inventory list lol.
Just my 2 cents. -
No I stopped counting at 500. I do have them broken up into broad categories though.
-
I try to keep my brands together. All of my trays are filled with Viaje. Everything else is a free for all but I try to organize. The fun part is digging around later and rediscovering things you forgot you had.
-
I do, I have all my sticks on a document with name, quantity, and the date it went into the humi. I'll have exactly 546 cigars once my latest orders arrive next week. Chalk one more up for the anal group!
-
Trays - whole trays - filled with Viaje's?! I have 1 (one,single,uno) Viaje. That is quite impressive! As for my "inventory" most new boxes are kept in the box until they get low in supply, and I have 2 other boxes for special / rare stuff or stuff I want to age, then the rest is in a mess of bags with no rhyme or reason.jsnake:I try to keep my brands together.

take inventory? sounds like work. i started smoking to help me relax. i dont even bother with little stickers with the date on em.

My stash isn't large enough to warrant making a list.

About 20 mins. west of Boston in Needhamcooch36:kcw where in mass do u live? -
My "stash" will average about 200 to 300 sticks (give or take). I used to write them down until I tried making a list from memory. What I found out is this:
Within a stick or two, I can name every brand, the size and how many of each without a list!
It does help that I check on the humidors and rotate the sticks about once a month and count how many I have left. That is faster and easier for me (and way more fun) than keeping a list.
I started an "online journal" of my thoughts/reviews of cigars some time ago. College sucks up all of my spare time, so I never completed it. Maybe I can find a link to what I started........aha, here it is:
cam's cigar journal
The journal is in flash, so it won't work on most mobile devices. This was just for testing animation software anyway.
