Pedro2486 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Afternoon Gents (& ladies) I'm indulging my inner geek this arvo and got to wondering. There a quite a few apps and browser based cigar related programs floating around and I'm trying out a few, most seem to be just a gimmick. Does anyone have any great suggestions for such programs? Or are they all a waste of time Hope all are having a great weekend
Stogieninja Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Everyone I've seen has been a gimmick. I'd also be interested if there are any good ones.
Pedro2486 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 I was just having a fiddle with habanos official app. I looks cool and has all habanos SA brands and a good humidor function but it was running too slow to be smoothly used and a few bugs adding some cigars to your humi. With more work it would be good. Still more of a gimmick though
BatFastard Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I use mobile stogie for my humi inventory… pretty outdated but you can add cigars if need be. Can become fairly arduous at times but serves a purpose.
nick17 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 this might be a good project for anyone on here who is a programmer I know i would love to have a rely well sorted cigar app
hebbe72 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Not for me. One of the joys of the hobby for me is not knowing exactly what is in the cabinet. Just the other day I was surprised by half a box of RA mille fleurs stashed away, that I completely forgotten. It tasted great by the way. 4
almudawi Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I use... Well.. TRY to use stogie rate to track inventory. Decent app.. Amazing online database and very professional user interface. But I never seem to be able to use it routinely.

Just the other day I was surprised by half a box of RA mille fleurs stashed away, that I completely forgotten. It tasted great by the way. Good point. I guess the other side of the coin is that some find an extension in the enjoyment of a hobby buy sorting, cataloging, arranging, etc. sort of vicariously extending the enjoyment of a cigar when you are unable to smoke one. BTW just finished a Por Larranaga belicosos Asia pacific RE. Great non-vicarious enjoyment
ArtemusGordon Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 All my stuff is very detailed in google docs spreadsheet with different tabs! Love it

Nino Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 What about this app for wireless temperature and humidity measuring - should be interesting for checking cigar storage conditions : Video : http://igg.me/at/blucub BluCub Product Highlights: Wireless Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 Up to 50m (160 ft.) range depending on surrounding environment 3 Year Battery Life. And it’s replaceable too! Humidity Sensor measuring Relative Humidity (RH) between 0% and 100% Temperature Sensor measuring between -20°C and +50°C Dimensions – 50mm x 50mm x 20mm thin The product will retail at £49.99.
DrunkenMonkey Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Mobile Stogie was perfect back when it was being updated. Someone should track down the guy who wrote it and offer to update the cigars for it. I'd pay for a new version with more cigars.
Pedro2486 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Nice one nino. On a semi related note. Has anyone tried using a arduino or like an atmedia chip with rH and temp sensors to then control fans, active humidifier and cooling (in the case of a wineador)? I'm sure there are controllers for it, but it would be a cool little project To google!

The new Cigar Oasis units have an optional plug-in USB unit that connects to your WIFI network so you can check on temp and humidity with a Smartphone app. Might be cool if you need a new humidifier in the future.
Laxman Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Not for me. One of the joys of the hobby for me is not knowing exactly what is in the cabinet. Just the other day I was surprised by half a box of RA mille fleurs stashed away, that I completely forgotten. It tasted great by the way. Have to agree here. Every time I rotate my winecoolers I find something I did not realize I had. Last time I did it found a 08 50 cab of Part Luises and half a box of Monte Sublimes)
bigfunkyg Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Had Mobile Stogie when I was still on iOS but have not found a good replacement on Android.
Guybrush Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 http://www.ratemycigar.com/ could be nice if there were an update,
