So here’s the question, Do you date your cigars so you remember when you got them? I use a little sticker and do month and year.

For boxes/bundles you receive, Sharpie the MM/YY of acquisition on them.* When removing a stick from a marked box/bundle and you're not going to smoke it immediately, transfer the MM/YY from the box/bundle to the stick's cello with a Sharpie.

For individual sticks you receive, Sharpie MM/YY on cello.

Advantages:

1. No annoying central spreadsheet or database is needed, nor its upkeep, backups, etc.

2. Every item has the MM/YY of acquisition right on it, no need to perform any lookups.

3. Give items to friends, there's the MM/YY already on the item for them to see.

4. No stickers, post-it notes or any other physical add-ons needed.

5. Near-zero effort, expense, complexity.

* When Sharpie-marking a box or bundle, if the surface is porous (e.g. unfinished wood) one MM/YY is sufficient, but if the surface is less-pourous or non-pourous (e.g. typical bundle cellophane, slick-finished boxes, etc.) write two or more MM/YY copies for redundancy if possible, as some of the writing may wear off due to handling over many years).

I have a mild case of OCD...........Excel is my friend, and tracks date, storage location, purchase price and tasting notes.

I have a modest collection, typically between 600 and 1,000 cigars, but I know exactly where each and every one of them is resting, allowing me to easily and quickly find what I want to smoke.

Monica?

Bomber you opened a door for this one

Since a cigar is a stick you must be a catcher. 🤣

I guess that tells us what you do on dates.

Similar to what Horst does except for the Location. Tried to keep track but eventually too many cigars made for too much Cigar Tetris so was spending way too much time on it.

It got time consuming (I'm a lazy bazturd) so I've honed my cigar dating skills over the years to the point where a few sniffs will tell me the month and year of acquisition and the identity of the person from whom I obtained it...:^o

after smoking several outstanding cigars, and not remembering when I got them or whether or not they were acquired from someone else, I resumed marking each cigar...

I hated not being able to give a shout out to the person who gave me an excellent smoke...

Um.........you’re wrong noob.

Celtic don’t play baseball.

He play football.

Aaaand, since we know he’s been camping with Z a few times, he’s no longer a tight end....

He’s now a wide receiver.....

Nah. I just like "Docking" with them. I'll allow you the experience of looking that one up. Please have someone take pics of your face as you enter a whole new world.

So in this story it's 2 man enter one man leave?

Who runs barter town?

I RUN BARTER TOWN.

Mrs. Mittens never gives me flak about how many cigars and accessories I buy. It's probably because she has never existed. 🇨🇮
