I am only tracking CC's so I don't find this to be a problem other than a few RE's or LE's now and again

- 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.Not hard again as incoming is mostly boxes other than the occasional trade pass or bomb

- Cbid shipments should have been a time of joy, but it became inventory receipt data entry time. Talk about buzzkill. I love adding boxes to my inventory

- Inventory WILL get off. Then the counts become useless once you can't trust the data.Naaaah I am way too anal retentive for it to be off, besides that is what test counts are for

- 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.
I have no desire to be surprised, and I track them by humi or fridge or cooler so this is not an issue.

Again, this wasn't a request about the merits of tracking but about what tools are out there and if they are any good.
