How do you keep track of your sticks?

Just curious how people keep track of what they have, when they got it and how long it's been resting. Journal? Apps? What method do you use? Or don't you bother?

Before I joined this damn forum I use to do it in my head. Now my cooler is in desperate need of organization

I put htf and rare in trays and carefully pile the rest in the humidir. Kind of fun to discover things you forgot you had.

I pretty much remember what I bought and what I've received. I just group them in boxes and that's about as much work as I want to put in. I like the labeling but I'm too lazy to do it on every cigar.

I have a aging cooler for long term a short ten cooler and a normal cooler. I keep isom's and rare htf sticks in the wine fridges and label the dates received. I forget over half the stuff I have but know I probably do have it somewhere

I started labeling them with the date as well. I just couldn't keep track in my head anymore.

Easy. I don't. At all.

Google spreadsheet. I was really bored.

I don't either.. I pretty much remember what I have, when I got it, and where or from whom I got it. I don't need to complicate things.

I use the app Cigar Boss, it's pretty cool. It has a virtual humidor to keep track of your cigars as well as a journal. It also allows you to look for BandMs and has some news on the cigar industry.

Nice idea about the app. Wish I knew the thousands of stogies I've smoked!

If I need to know I check to see if I posted a pic in the "What did you get today" or bombs thread.

I smoke then and go "I forgot I had one of these.."

Other than memory (which isn't great!), I don't keep track. And sad to say, the ones in there the longest are probably the worst smokes - simply because I don't want to smoke them! I have been known to hand out a few of them to "moochers", and they have always been complimented as "pretty good", so perhaps I've been overly critical of them. Or perhaps they just aren't my cup o' tea! I haven't picked up anything special or rare enough to deserve long term aging, and honestly I don't know if my palate is developed enough to enjoy a "well-aged" vs. "just received" cigar.

I don't bother keeping track. My humidor is basically a serving humidor, much like you'll see at a BnM. Long shelves in a cabinet behind a sliding glass door. So I see all mine at once. Usually I buy boxes at a time, with my singles (mostly thanks to BOTLs here) in a few trays. Unless I have a hankering for a specific one of mine, I'll just reach into one of the singles tray and grab whatever comes out.

Stogie Roullette! You can hurt yourself playin' like that, Walt!

The ones I buy, are given a month/year sticker. Keeping my bomb/trade sticks organized is a losing battle.
