My Little Book

[Corvin]

For those that do keep a journal what information do you keep in it?

I'm curious, do you go as far as listing the filler, wrapper and binder countries, etc or just the country of origin?

I have an idea or two but I could use more details.

I keep:
Name
Vitola
wrapper / binder / filler
date & time smoked
beverage
Tasting notes: strength / flavors
Construction and burn

I generally only make one card per cigar type the first time I smoke it. Then I refer back to it when I smoke the remainder of my sampling usually a 5er over a period of 5-6 months. This is the way I evaluate smokes for future box purchases.

The cigar needs to be easy to find in the book if I am looking for a padron I use it like a dictionary. This would be a big book...

I'm thinking something like an old Rolodex... easy to keep alphabetized.

Not nearly as classy as a leather-bound journal, though.

I like it, I'm just too lazy!

Put a quote request in today. See what they have to say.

Here are some images of the template I made up. What do you think?
