I was advised that it is a good idea to start a cigar journal.

I downloaded an app called cigar scanner. Seems cool anybody use this?

Not I...8-[

I entered all my sticks in it says I have 700 bucks worth... Lol I have a bunch of yard gars in my two humidors! Good way to keep track I guess

I do this without an app. Just take a pic. 🙂

I use it... good way to keep track of what you liked and not,

Wish they had this when I first started out. W-a-y too many cigars to start something like this now. But in a couple of months, let us know how you like it.

I use a spreadsheet with cigar name, size, quantity, description, source, cost, date acquired and location. Location was my last addition - when I had 18 locations where cigars were stored. It doesn't tell me how many of each item were smoked or how many are left.

Palama- totals by cigar brand, Gurkha = 792 (under 100 left).

One more Gurk Fest, and they should be gone....8-[

If you have an Android phone you can use the Aficionado app.

It is pretty good. I track all cigars such price, dates, locations where purchased, noted smoked, or removed.

A fellow spreadsheeter! In addition to what you have, I keep track of when I smoked something or traded / gave away. I also have a column for notes. I tried to keep up with the location of each cigar but gave up after the 2nd or 3rd cooler.

You's all some motivated folks. I spreadsheet different blends/vitolas so I can avoid duplicates in my seriously backlogged journal, but that's about it.

After years and years of designing front ends and coding I don't even know how many different programs I don't even like using my phone. I just smoke em as they come to the top. Tracking all that info leads to madness and OCD. Grab a smoke, find a quiet spot and enjoy.

I use an app called my brain...Very integral... Keeps tracks of the cigars i like and reminds me to buy more, remembers the cigars I didn't like and discourages me from buying more, and it cross references my budget to tell me what I can and can't afford...

I like it but if I'm being honest, it's got a ton of bugs and I really don't use it as much as I used to...

Opie - there are chemicals- better living thru chemistry.

I've been using Cigar Scanner since the beginning. Love it! They only thing I hate about it is it won't let you export your list of cigars. Seems that would be crazy easy to do.

I checked it out and seems pretty good iffin’ you’re just getting into it but lotta work if you have to go through a few coolers, humidors and plastic containers. If this was available 6 years ago, I would have given it a shot.

Eh...............excel has been my friend for 9+ years.........simple, flexible, dependable

I agree, would never have used it if I had hundreds or more to add.

Maybe you can suggest the app each time a new(er) smoker comes onto the board? 🤔

I use Cigar Scanner. Sometimes it is a bit clunky but the humidor bit works fine.
