The way I've chosen to handle 0 quantity cigars is this (after consulting with Andrew, Lee and Jon during our wednesday HERF

):

If you put a quantity of zero for something in your humidor (while adding or editing), it will not count toward the totals on the home screen. The theory is this: you can't put zero of something in your actual humidor, so you shouldn't expect this to show in the stats. Having said that, there is value in being able to do this, so you can essentially keep a history of cigars that you once had (notes, where you got them, rating, etc.).

Hopefully all of this becomes moot when I add a more robust 'Smoking Notes' section to the app in the next version.

Now I have to go make this change, so I can get this out the door!!!

Thought I would share the new numbers on the database. It now contains reference information for 1,700 unique cigars (718 CC's and 982 NC's).

Some of the key recent additions:

5 Vegas
601
A. Fuente
Ashton
Camacho
DPG
Graycliff
Gurkha
La Aroma de Cuba
La Aurora
La Flor Dominicana
Oliva
Padron
Perdomo
Rocky Patel
Tatuaje

Hopefully this helps to balance out the CC vs. NC focus of the app. There is still the ability for people to add any cigars they want, and edit the ones that are in there (I'm sure there are errors in the data; you'd be amazed at the amount of conflicting info about so many cigars). In any case, I expect it will be much more likely that people will find a good many of their own cigars in the database, so setting up the inventory part should be much easier for the user.

Who knew there were so many damn cigars ... 90 of them alone for Rocky Patel !!

Ok, back to work ...
