Journal?

[Fletcher]

Thanks to Lisa (and sometimes Rob), I have built a solid beginning to a collection. My question to the gang is do you keep a smoking journal and if so what type of info do you put in the journal

Thanks

I do not (but probably should). Check this link:

Fletch,

I have saved a lot of my cigar bands over the years just because I think they are kind of cool. I wish I had started a Cigar Dossier a long time ago. Maybe I will down the road. Let me know how you like yours.

I ain't no pro, but I keep a journal with all of my tasting notes for each cigar. Prelight, 1,2,3 3rds, and overall summary. I don't keep notes on EVERY cigar, but I like to "journal" at least 1/2 the cigars I smoke.

This is also a good way to track a cigars development over time to test and see where the flavors are moving. It also is fun to look back and see how my tastes have changed over the years.

I have also done reviews where I just wrote on scrap paper. This is a BAD idea. I have then lost the reviews and for a number of reasons, really wish I still had them.

Mine is just an old journaling notebook my wife wasn't using. Has a cool fabric cover and fits in my back pocket easily. But anything will work

When I first got into cigars I entered every cigar I smoked into a notebook, however as the years have progressed it is harder and harder to write in an 'official' format and have moved into solely recording general thoughts about contruction, taste etc. It is a great resource if you can keep it up though. Best of Luck...it is fun...but sometimes I found that I was enjoying my cigar too much to be bothered about focusing on writing down my thoughts along the way....very hard as well after a few accompanying beverages!

Hi Fletch

I am on my second journal (a documentation habit I picked up professionally)

Here's a link to amazon. Some are cigar books, some are journals.

but you can order them.

About 1 in 10 cigars, I will take notes on.

usual format:

cigar

date smoked

date stamped

drink

pre light impression

construction

1/3

2/3

3/3

overall impression

Notebook is nothing special just a pocket moleskin.....I feel like a big dork but I also glue the band in there as well.

I started a journal when I was smoking a couple cigars a week but things have gotten out of hand and I would not want that much documentaion on how many cigars I smoke or what they might cost.;-)

[CIGARHead]

All the documentation I need is that bank statement:crying:

I don't but my brother has a pretty sweet one.
