A little bit of memory and like Tom, I enjoy a good surprise!

I organize by size, vitola rather than brand. I also keep CCs in a different humidor from NCs because they tend to fight.

Is this a joke??

If not...hook me up!

If it is...not funny!

RateMyCigar, which is an Android app. Discussed some here.

Stogie Rate has a nice cigar inventory spreadsheet. I just log in my cigars that I receive and put them away. So far, I know the location of any cigar in my stash, I think! Also, it is a pain to deduct the sticks you smoke...not that anal!

So Far it sounds like the Majority is

1. Memory - Random Picks
2. Excel spreadsheet
3. Mobile Apps
4. RFID

Im going ahead forward with www.mycigarlocker.com If it pans out great.. if not.. It was fun creating it. Hopefully I have something that works in the next week or so.

I don't record gifted sticks... Too lazy for that!!!

I use cigar briefcase. It is a bit cumbersome to use in that most of the cigars are not in the database but it works ok when I use it. More often than not I just look thru the humi and the cooler to pick a stick. One of these days I will get organized!

amsgpwarrior · 02-14-2011, 07:40 AM

Don't have the time for anything else besides my own memory. If i forget, well then I'm in for a surprise.

Dude that is awesome! Are you really doing that? I just had this thought the other day and wondered how I would achieve that. Do you manually type in each box, and do you keep track of them by stick? I wondered if this would be a good project for the arduino.

I try to look at them every day. What I do after that is my own business.

Any ideas???

Creating the initial database is easy, but updating can be a pain. Especially when you start moving boxes from one cooler or vino to another or you get a few packages in on the same day and smoke a few as well. Easier to just sit back and smoke and be surprised.

This is very true... Updating all the time can suck....

Humidor Organization for me...

I've got a mini-cabinet that has two drawers and then a bottom compartment for boxes. The top two drawers each have 4 dividers.

Top drawer is for my nicest and more full bodied stuff - of the 4 compartments, 1 is for aging, 1 is stuff I need to review for the blog, and two are for when I want one of my nicer smokes. This is where I keep Tats, Illusiones, Padron, etc.

Bottom drawer is entirely mild-low medium smokes, since this is what I primarily smoke. I'm only using 3 or the 4 compartments and they are organized by price. If I want a mild smoke, I go to this drawer...then I decide how nice of a cigar I want. If I'm walking the dog I'll go to the cheapest bin, etc...

Once it's organized once it's easy...

ucla695 · 02-17-2011, 01:12 PM

Excel!

sammyboy405 · 02-17-2011, 04:23 PM

Still Working on this..

It will be at www.mycigarlocker.com once im done. And if my business meeting with mpd340 today over a cigar pans out we maybe in the cigar selling business lol We'll see.

But Im for sure working on a virtual type humidor. That will work seamlessly with an android app when im done.
