My "stash" will average about 200 to 300 sticks (give or take). I used to write them down until I tried making a list from memory. What I found out is this: Within a stick or two, I can name every brand, the size and how many of each without a list! It does help that I check on the humidors and rotate the sticks about once a month and count how many I have left. That is faster and easier for me (and way more fun) than keeping a list.
I started an "online journal" of my thoughts/reviews of cigars some time ago. College sucks up all of my spare time, so I never completed it. Maybe I can find a link to what I started........aha, here it is:
The journal is in flash, so it won't work on most mobile devices. This was just for testing animation software anyway.
Awww man is that ever cool!!!! I vote you finish it!! I would NEVER know how to make such a wonderful thing. That is really, really nice.
Thank you for the compliment. We haven't covered anything like that in college, and we probably won't. School is all about the "business model" and "best practices". I prefer to do the fun stuff, like building web applications. I'm hoping to put it all together when I graduate and maybe find work. Maybe on my "reading week" in March I might have a bit of time to fix up the online journal.

Please let us know whenever you do finish it. I love it!!
When I first started I keep a list I just used excel and had like 10 columns of info the prob is I started getting so many so fast its been hard to keep up. It is really nice though when your ready to bomb someone and you can look through your list and know exactly what you have that they want/wish for however.

Well darn it. I thought that I finally found an easy hobby. Being the organizer that I am and the fact that my good friends on cigar.Com (this is code for "you guys") have now planted the idea in my head, I guess I will now be keeping an inventory. Excel will be my tool of choice.
Thanks buddy's :-)
There are mobile apps for it too. Rate my cigar was the best one I could find when I tried to keep up with it. Maybe ill try again, if I have to start my collection over.
I too used to keep a spreadsheet but after time I have fallen away from it. I just know what I have in the box. I like the idea of looking through the box from time to time and coming across a stick that I have forgotten about. HA! I always get a smile on my face when I see the date on the sticker when it arrived here at home. I just need to work on making a faster selection on what I want to smoke.
Right now I guess I'm just having fun learning about all the cigars. I like to read reviews on them, and read what is said about them in the for sale cigar section of cigar.com. I just want to learn all I can.
I thought I was bad; my stash is about 380ish. I keep a loose count with a spreadsheet, but it could be +/-10 or so. I don't feel as bad now after seeing 3000 from one of you....
My coolderdor is 'organized' by throwing everything in to a giant pile (when it's not in a box). so I need a rough idea of what I have lest I start buying things I already have (not that that's a bad thing in most cases).
Yeah, I'm pretty anal about my inventory. I keep a spreadsheet for each humi/cooler. I have what is in there, date I got it and how much I spent/how I got it (pass/trade/bomb). I have another spreadsheet for each different stick I have had. I keep track of what the stick was, when I got it, when I smoked it, the cost/bomb/trade/etc., and what I thought about the stick. I then color code those into different categories: try again, will buy, want a box, never try again. I also keep each band from every cigar in a bag, just in case I ever want to do anything with them again. I guess I could be worse.

My stash is pretty small, so I could probably tell you what I have just off the top of my head. I just started buying cigars and keeping them in the past couple weeks, so I am being careful about my purchases. The only bigger purchases I have so far are from Cigarsprintsale, because I got some ridiculous deals on some of my favorite cigars.
