Thirteen years of reviews in a few images

Just finished the latest notebook on Saturday. Fresh notebook on the bottom.

Awesome stuff, I do the same, I think I'm on book 6 or 7 now too. Trying to not think about the loose scraps of paper reviews in my 'to write up' pile!

Very nice. That's a lot of diligence. Do you find that keeping notes makes the experience better for you, or is it more that it's part of the gig? Do you take notes on every cigar you smoke?

I find that I enjoy my cigars mostly when I'm not thinking about them at all. I really enjoy it when they take my attention rather than me giving them my attention.  Nowadays, if I post on the daily smoke page, it's because the cigar jumped out at me for better or worse, most usually better.

I only take notes on the cigars I review, but it all started because I couldn't seem to remember the profiles of cigars I smoked. So I jotted my notes down and after a few months of that the whole thing took on a life of its own.

It's really nice to just light up a cigar and not have to really focus on the smoking part.

I always admire the discipline in others
