    uh.......not really. All I said was that jotting stuff down has its advantages as well. Nothing more, nothing less.

    If that's all you said, Alfred, we wouldn't be commenting on your post. But you again went into a "research" mode, scoured the Internet for useless tidbits - posted about some software you've never tried - commented how it was "Fantastic", "Wonderful", "Excellent", or whatever adjective you used - even though you've never used it. Seems like leg-humping to me again.

    I'm sure the people in this thread would like an HONEST opinion about cigar journals, not some made up evaluation of some "research" you did on Google. Knock it off, Alfred.


    Back on topic... Sorry for the threadjack, but Alfred here is not going to let a thread with a new person in it go to waste if there's leg-humping to do...

    I have purchased a journal from one of my local cigar shops. It was a bit pricey, but it is kinda cool. It's a small three ring binder with dividers for the different ratings. You can put the cigar band in a sleeve on the page. It has a rating system based on a reasonable scale of YOUR tastes. At first I kept a log off ALL the cigars I smoked, but I've found as time has gone by that I prefer to put the Premium smokes in the journal. Especially because I like to keep the "cool" bands. Plus, I think it will be cool for my kids to have a handwritten journal of mine way down the line.

    I hope that answers your question. My journal is not "Fantastic", "Wonderful", Stupendous", etc. - just interesting.

    Actually, you would be mistaken on that account. I do use the program and I enjoy it a lot. I haven't used it as of late since blogging is a lot easier for me IMHO. If it works for others, great. To each their own.

    I keep a journal too. Helps keep track of what's good and isn't. I do what everyone else seems to do, tape the band into a notebook and write down price, size, ratings etc

    Good way to remember what you like and what you don't.

    You're confusing me there Scroto, you say you use it and enjoy it and immediately follow that with you haven't used it lately because you've found something better.

    Holy shit was one of the best John Kerry flip-flop, pandering answers I've heard ever which unfortunately is one of the problems with you. You feel the need to post pandering comments on everything, and say "Oh yeah, that's GREAT, SUPER COOL, NEATO, FANTASTIC, GEE WILLIKERS"

    It seems to me that if you feel so compelled to respond in a thread where the thread originator was talking about a cigar journal, a more HONEST end genuine response from you would be:

    "I tried something like that once but lost interst. I find blogging much easier."

    But once again, you cannot resist the urge to pander and leg-hump. You are so shallow and insincere it's actually laughable.

    Oh as to the matter at hand, I never kept a cigar journal. Those people who I know started them lost interest rather quickly. I think that once you get more experience smoking cigars, your "sense" of what is a good cigar for you will come to you almost automatically (like riding a bike does once you learn how) which negates the need for you to refer back to some notes that probably won't make much sense once you know more about cigars.

    I keep a detailed journal that includes a short description of the smoking experience, a rating, a price, the store purchased from, country of origin, size, brand, etc. I also use 2 journals. One for Cuban's and one for other countries.
