Organizing/tracking singles and boxes

[Legends of the Playground]

What do you do?

I have a spreadsheet that I log everything on. I keep track of the brand, type, #, size, where I got it from, date I received it and box code (if available.) It's can be kind of a pain if I have several singles within one type that were purchased on different days. Eventually, I just lump them together if the total number of a type gets under 4-5 and date them with the newest date.

Boxes just stack in the bottom of the Legendor. Singles go into 4 stackable trays that I bought from Bargain Humidors. I actually designed the Legendor around these trays. I figured that with our buying sprees and my own habits, I'd always have 100-200 singles around for a while. That's probably going to change soon but it never hurts to have singles trays.

I used to log mine on the computer, but that got to be a pain. now I just label them with the blank bands I picked up from david.

if I have at least 5 from the same box I either tie them with a ribbon or a strip of paper and only label one of them. as long as I keep them together I assume they are all from the same box.

I use the blank bands I sell. I used a database I wrote in Microsoft Access but pretty much gave up after a few years. I have my cabinet humi organized by cigar brand and that seems to work well enough.

I'm furiously trying to smoke anything that I only have 1-2 of. That would make my life a whole lot easier where it comes to keeping track.

That's a major difference between Alaska and Texas in August. Here, we're hoping the 70+ degree whether holds out until September. Down there, ya'll are waiting for October to see a 70 degree day.

If we're lucky...

By October, we've got snow. And it might not leave until April. :crosseyed
