Default Keeping Inventory

Hey all,
I decided that I'd start the new year out buy taking stock of what I've got in the humidor, and dang is it a big job! Just wondering if anyone else does this and if so how do they do it?

I sure wish I was doing this all along instead of having to start with a full humidor!

I have an excel spreadsheet where I log the count date received and I have it calculate age for me too. I also use it to keep track of what I paid.

I try to keep track in my head. I also go and look at order history on CI and Cbid and other places to see how much I paid or when I purchased what.

Well I just finished up, and I'm not sure how much good it did me, but at least I know what I've got now.

Now I just know how many amazing sticks I've got that I really want to smoke! Too bad it's 18 degrees here....

Hunt and grab. Nothing better than being pleasantly suprised now and then.

I was using Google docs and had a pretty nice spreadsheet going for a while. I gave up on that and now I just hunt through the humidor.

I have tried to do this several times using Excel and just didn't keep it current. Now it's just happy hunting as I dig through the humies and coolers.

I enjoy the surprises I get when engaging in wineador archeology.

The best I can do is marking the year on finger bags.
If I can do that, I feel like I've won.

I am keeping track, but of boxes only. Singles would get too ridiculous. I have been writing down on a sticky and attaching it to the box of price paid/purchase date.

I also am using a program that keeps track of all the cigars, but trying to keep up with what you smoke, gave away, etc etc it is hard to keep it accurate. It does serve as a good snapshot of what I have along w/ box codes and I update the counts on occasion by memory.

Now that I've done it I guess the only thing I will likely use it for is keeping track of ages on the sticks. Once I get into boxes it will be much easier.

Hunt and grab for me. Its fun finding old stuff you didn't realize you had. Its how I got my first personally aged cigar. Lost an Oliva O for a year not too long after I got started and got a nice surprise when I transferred things over to the larger humidor I got.

It's like putting on a pair of pants that you haven't worn for a while and you find a dollar in the pocket.

You're not supposed to smoke those pants dollars.
