I used to track quantities in CR, but it was too frustration on many fronts.

- I spent too much time adding new cigars to the database. If the stuff you like is already there, you are fine. I liked Gurkhas and other brands that seemed to have a new cigar every week... so I was ALWAYS adding new cigars to the database. (this is probably more of a problem with NC's vs. CC's)

- Cigars flowing in and out became stressful because I had to make sure the count was accurate. When friends came over, I had to write down what they took so I could update the inventory counts... made me feel like a cheap a$$ miser.

- Cbid shipments should have been a time of joy, but it became inventory receipt data entry time. Talk about buzzkill.

- Inventory WILL get off. Then the counts become useless once you can't trust the data.

- Most importantly... It is much better to not track invenory and be surprised by a buried gem that you forgot about vs. KNOW that you have something you want in your humi "somewhere" and you can't find it.
