I used to keep a little log book. Kept meticulous records, like what I ate last, the time of day, as well as vitola scent, and texture of the cigar. Then I just stopped one day. For one, I found little need to take note of a cigar I didn't enjoy (which, at the time, was quite a few). If I had something I enjoyed, I either make a mental note, or make note of it within my profile here on CS. If I really thought it was something exceptional that maybe not a lot of people get to try or are familiar with, I do a little review here.

But honestly, I rarely smoke the same cigar more than a couple of times. Sure, I have my favorites, and when I'm in the mood for something familiar and consistent, I'll reach for that. But more often than not, I'm trying something new. I'm not interested in creating a comprehensive like/dislike list. Too many variables. For example, when I first started smoking I tried a Partagas 160. Couldn't get into it when I started. Enjoyed another one a few weeks ago, and loved it.

Bottom line: do what you think is best for your own tastes. These are just mine.
