Sharpie MM/YY of acquisition on the boxes or bundles (for example, you get a box today, mark it 3/18), and when you remove a single from a box or bundle and aren't going to smoke it immediately, just use a Sharpie and copy the box or bundle's date onto the cigar's individual cello. That way if you don't smoke the single and put it back, you'll still know its age.
I've done that since day one, and although I have thousands of cigars now, at a glace I instantly know the month and year I got each box, bundle or single, without need to refer to any records.
Beautifully simple, easy and effective.
Also, if you gift cigars to friends, they too automatically and instantly know, at a glance, how long you've aged them.
