Another noob question here, i just start collecting/smoking cigars in February. I have gotten on the downward roller coaster of emptying my wallet every month
![]() I started with a 40 cigar humidor and laughed thinking i will never fill that up, hehe i was wrong i now have 97 of them, i am was having a hard time remembering when i bought them, so i had some of the blue painters scotch tape and cut small strips and labeled them with what month i bought them and stuck them on the either the celo or the band not on the cigar itself. Here is my question should i be concerned with an kind of smell or chemicals on the tape evaporating or leaking off into my cigars? if so i will go back through and take them of, but i made sure that the back side of the tape was not touching my cigars. Thanks ahead of time for the help. Dan ![]() |

I use these from Mark (who is another stand-up member here) at cigarmony. I believe there was a GB going on here somewhere. ![]() |

![]() I tried both the blank bands from David @ Heartfeld and Mark @ Cigarmony, I prefer the ones from Mark. They got a better glue strip and more space to write on (and with my crappy handwriting, that is a big plus)

I print the tiny address labels it's super easy and I can fit more info on them than using a sharpie or the heartfeld/cigarmony bands

Yeah but can i use the just scotch tape as long as its not touching the cigar? The tape i have is that painters blue scotch tape that barley sticks at all. I just dont want to have to buy anything, but if i do, i do.

Yea you'll be fine, I think. I always keep my stix in celo because it protects them and keeps the RH more stable.

There you go. Your collection WILL grow and you'll want to label them. I frequently pull out 5 year old sticks and it's nice to see how they age over time.

Thats awesome, yeah i dont even want to know how much money i will drop in the next 5 years. Thats why started labeling now, i am wanting to buy a couple of boxes so that will add about 50 more so i wanted to start now early and practice the good habit, i also have a notebook that i write each cigar i buy into.

I agree, they work but the glue isn't the greatest.

I use the HF labels and I also have a Dymo Letra label printer I stick on top of the first cigar band to make sure it sticks together
Thats the best combo that works for me but some other good suggestions above Bart |

I use 1 x 3 post-its and a smidge of scotch tape. Glue side facing away from the cigars.
3 x 4 post-its can also be cut into 1 inch strips. We had a bunch laying around, so my cost is minimal. Comes in handy helping to remember who traded or gifted the sticks, too.

I didn't label mine at all until very recently. I decided I would put all the newer smokes in one drawer in my vino, and i have used a sharpie to write the date and a name if someone gave it to me.
