Rhinoww Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 My singles tray is getting full - sometimes w same sticks from different years. Ive been using open ziploc bgs but frankly would like to get more of the tobacco exposed in some instances. are folks using post its rolled over or something else work well to allow me to write the box code and easily affix. Don’t want to mess w any tape. Anything better than post its?
Bri Fi Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 Great question. I have been looking into this as well since I have a large Avallo coming soon and looking to dump some boxes with a few sticks into the singles drawer. Amazon used to sell blank cigar bands but they’ve since stopped. Some people use blank paper and tape/glue stick. Looking to see if someone recommends something better
joeypots Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 If u can't find any blank cigar bands u can use post it notes. Just cut the 3"x 3"s in thirds and, voila.

SansSin Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 i got a roll of these little white stickers, i either put them on the cello or cut a strip of printer paper and use them to tape the ends together. cheap and a roll will last a long time https://www.amazon.com/Bright-Coding-Circle-Stickers-Diameter/dp/B0775V7F67/ref=sxts_rp_s1_0?cv_ct_cx=white+circle+stickers&dchild=1&keywords=white+circle+stickers&pd_rd_i=B0775V7F67&pd_rd_r=6eeb44d3-d647-45c9-b7f6-a13a6e2a97b6&pd_rd_w=2nASm&pd_rd_wg=wDIba&pf_rd_p=e64e557a-9088-4af1-8992-8ddbd7854c7f&pf_rd_r=VEG95K3WMJJY7GADJY29&psc=1&qid=1625438855&sr=1-1-f0029781-b79b-4b60-9cb0-eeda4dea34d6
StogieSteve23 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Lined paper and pieces of scotch tape. Have absolutely hated those prefab labels. It’s a little more work but they never come off or stick to another cigar and seems to work well for me. Have been doing it for several years now. I’ve heard of other people using receipt paper/tape. 1
Greenhorn2 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Heartfelt industry' has blank cigar bands if you're interested.

I got 8 people ahead of me and I ordered mine in January
Bri Fi Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 @benfica_77 he said 7-9 months. I ordered in April. So I’m expecting a year
bugman78629 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I love these guys....... https://www.onlinelabels.com/materials/cigar-labels
BrightonCorgi Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 I have an easier solution - Don't label them. Since they are singles, I don't care much on the background story since I won't be able to act on them. If they were a gift or something special presented to me; I'd remember that part. If forget or will forget; then it doesn't matter. A box code on a long gone cigar that I am unlikely to see a similar full box of for a reasonable price; don't care about its box code much. 3

mprach024 Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 No singles trays here, I keep them in the boxes, if there’s only a few left I may consolidate a few boxes together but than I make a point to move those up in my rotation to clear them out.
Fuzz Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Most of the Syd guys have seen my "travel" humidor that has most of my loose/single cigars. I have no clue what is in there, how many of each cigar I have left, least of all what the box codes were. All I know is, nearly every one is from a box long gone, purchased at least 10-15 years ago. I gave up trying to keep track of my cigars and just smoke whatever takes my fancy.
