My Little Book

[FactoredReality]

This got me looking and I found a site that makes custom journals. Would anyone else be interested in getting some journals made up? What would you look for in the book?

Things to consider:
Size, number of pages, color of pages (white or cream), straight or jagged edges, color of binding, text on cover.

I'm thinking:
Size: 6"x4"
Pages: 50 sheets (100 pages) cream colored
Cover / Binding: Black on Black
Edges: I like "deckled" edges, but not a necessity. Deckled is the torn edge look on the page.
Text: "Cigar Journal" in gold ink. Could also do "Cigar Smokers Journal".

Also need to determine page content. (1 or 2 smokes per page?)

I'm interested in opinions. They will do individual books, but obviously better deal in bulk.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. Is there a price range or quote on it? I'd probably say as far as page content you would want to include: Name, Vitola/Size, Flavor (Mild, Medium, Strong), Smoke (plenty/not enough), Price, Year (of production/aging) and comments. Those would be the ones I would want. I would also probably say 2 cigars per page and of course a nice spot for the band to be pasted.

I will submit for a quote today and post what they have to say. I'm going to try and work up a page template and post a photo as well.

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.

Besides brand/name and tasting notes/ranking/ratings:
-Cuban/non-Cuban
-Maduro/natural
-Which person or vendor the stick came from
-What I was drinking (other than water).

For a box I'll add:
-Length/ring
-Factory vitolla
-Box date
-Purchase date
-Last smoke date/smoke date/next smoke date
-Cost of box/price per stick

I am, however, more into this than most. Analysis is a good part of my day job, after all
