keeping track of your collection.

04-08-2009, 03:23 PM

Is there any software that any of you are using to keep track of your collection... or maybe just an Excel Spreadsheet??

zmancbr · 04-08-2009, 03:31 PM

Just an excel spreadsheet for me... I used to keep track of single and boxes.... but now its just boxes and only CCs. Basically I use it to track boxes for aging and to keep a list of what I don't have and want/need!

Nice excel spreadsheet here

Check out the software by one of our members, KenS, if you have an iphone or itouch.

I had a computer software before (can't remember what it was) but found it a pain to keep the inventory up to date. Nice idea but gets old quick when you have to update the count every time you smoke/give away a stick.

If only I was more proficient in Excel. Time to start the vicious cylce of computer trial and error.

mine doesn't usually move around too much. to keep track, i just go over there and take a look.

G G · 04-08-2009, 03:42 PM

sometimes, when I am reorganizing stuff, I find a forgotten box. Kinda like Xmas, but with more plume.

I keep a spreadsheet. But it does become a chore to keep up with every purchase.

There's a program called Cigar Briefcase that does that, although I've never tried it. So far for me it's been paper and pencil.

3x5 cards on each shelf work for me!

WyGuy · 04-08-2009, 06:39 PM

I just use a spreadsheet in Excel...simple and easy.

bobarian · 04-08-2009, 07:06 PM

I dont keep track, if I did it might remind me I dont need to make any purchases.

ucla695 · 04-08-2009, 08:02 PM

Excel spreadsheet for me too!

The Professor · 04-08-2009, 08:06 PM

I don't keep that kind of evidence around.

I used to use an excel spreadsheet. But I'm in and out of the humidors and tupperdors a few times a day, so it became a little too tedious for me. I generally have a good idea of what I have. That's good enough for me. Every now and then I dig something awesome up that I forgot about and it's like christmas!

colimo · 04-08-2009, 11:13 PM

as i am not a big fan of reinventing the wheel when someone else has already done it better, if anyone wants to send me a copy of an excel spreadsheet program i would appreciate it....pm me, it can either be blank or filled in and i can erase...

thanks
