How do you track your stock

[AhmedAloub]

Lately my cigar stock is increased dramatically especially after the last LFTW . I was looking for the best way to keep tracking of what I have.

Recently i bought an IOS App called StogieRate it does a great job.

I would love to hear from you guys how do you keep tracking of your stock.

I keep a physical journal I update every month. Beautiful leather hand built journals http://www.renaissance-art.com/ they have all sizes and colors, options. Pricey but worth it. Smell amazing. I usually don't keep the specifics in terms of how many I smoke out of each box but just a reference guide to my stock with box codes/etc

Having trouble keeping tabs on all my cigars is not a problem I face........ unfortunately!!!

I use CigarGeeks. There is an app you can buy so you can update and search on your smartphone, but I just do it via the web. As soon as I buy or receive new sticks I enter them into the database.

I seem to have been using my camera roll on my phone over the last couple of years. A pic of every new box, and a shot of every one I smoke. It's the scattered artistic side of my brain that likes this method. (Camera roll currently has over 2500 pics... :-S )

I just use a spreadsheet. I keep tabs on when I've bought a box, when it arrives, price, duties(if any), TCO (price & duties), quantity of cigars and a running per stick cost ($'s spent / quantity).

There's a cool little app called Cigar Briefcase. Unfortunately it's been abandoned. I contacted the creator of it and he was perfectly willing to hand over the source code, but he lost it. I did manage to get his cigar brand databases, which are pretty extensive. But now, I can' find them. The app is very useable though. You can add new inventory, brands, cigars, pictures and subtract a stick you just smoked. It will trend your smoking habits. It has some great potential.

I have found that setting up a spreadsheet on excel works best for me. It is easy to create, update, sort, modify, etc. I use this only for box purchases/stock. I don't track my singles stock. When the box gets low it goes from the box to the singles drawer in the cabinet. I put a band on it with year and box code on it. I often smoke out of the singles drawer before reaching into a box for a cigar. Also, I have tried a couple of apps and they were just to slow and cumbersome.

I used to keep a very robust spreadsheet system. Now I just look at the boxes as they're stacked up and smile. Some are intact, some are half filled, I can't tell anymore. All that more fun when I open it back up.

I use an ap called WTF. Where The F*** are those Mag 46's? Not to be confused with the other WTF apps, What The F*** is in this box? Or Why The F*** did I buy a Ghurka?

I'm in the same boat

Hilarious, you use that app too?

Last night I did a huge box consolidation, ensuring months and months of highs and lows when searching for cigars.

Excel all the way but only check it and do a "stocktake" when I feel like it....

Excel, with link to photobucket for images and password protected so the wife has no idea...

I used to use google docs so i had the inventory handy no matter where I was. I now subscribe to mk05 school of thought. Nothing like finding a box you forgot you had.

I tried a few apps but they didn't use box codes or dates. No way to differentiate one box from another.

Excel spreadsheets all day

[ramon_cojones]

This sums it up for me! I am in the process of converting a new cabinet Humi and converting one of my wine fridges into a singles cabinet, so maybe I will update everything once I get those completed.

That's impressive. I have nowhere near a large collection, and am already lost trying to remember that info on everything.

Used to keep a spreadsheet. Now, every day is a new adventure....
