Nope, to much work. I have a pretty fair idea of what I have and roughly where it's at. It can be a bit frustrating when I have a craving for a specific cigar that I KNOW I have and it's not in the box I thought it was, the upside to this is that more boxes get opened and searched, air exchange and all that.
I'm not disciplined enough to keep an inventory. I find sticks I thought were long gone, so it's like finding a lost treasure. I kind of like that. LOL!
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I used to but not anymore. However, I have a pretty clear idea where things are. Quarterly I checked my humidors and that helps me to keep track of my cigars. Life is too short to be super organized.
Yes, I keep track. As I'm digging through, I keep track of how many times I go, "oh wait, what's that one?" or "Forgot I had that." or "Wait, what was I after again?"
And then, something shiny catches my eye and I've forgotten everything.

Have to. Can't imagine how I'd get along without it. I've got a tub full of long term storage, a fishing boat size cooler fill of stashed boxes, another big ice chest full of wrappers, another full of fillers, two chests full of leaf I'm working with right now, even a chest devoted to nothing but conditioning wrappers to just the right flexibility. In all, I maintain on the order of 40 pounds of baccy, dozens of varieties. How else would I set and imagine which might go well with which other?
Just now, for instance, I polished off twenty coronas I'll name Aubreys, cause they're for my eldest sister's hubby Aubrey for Christmas. 2 1/2 Nicaraguan seco from WholeLeafTobacco and 1 Rene seco from a sample WLT sent me, bound in Sumatra wrapper I dug out of the basement at FX Smith's, then wrapped in CT shade also from FX Smith. Purely a matter of settin staring at the list & imagining what might go with what else.
What I should do, but I don't keep up with ... I should maintain graded lists of what blends I've already tried, so's I don't make the same mistakes over & over.
p.s. I see where onestrangeone says: "Nope, to much work." Not at all. All it takes is one more "o".
Tension to detail.

I like the who/when/where you got it from idea as well, I will add that in! Then again, I do spreadsheets for fun, cause I'm nerdy like that.
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....
