I want to set up a personal log of cigar tasting notes for future buying reference. Can anyone out there share a suitable format with me or offer up any tips?

Try this site. I thinks it's free.

I don't know if you're going for an online format or what but I just use a $5 journal I picked up at Barnes and Noble. I paste the band to the top of a page, date it, and write down size and wrapper. That gives me plenty of room to make a short entry about the situation I was in when I smoked it (time, place, special occasion, etc.) as well as the overall impression I got from the cigar.
Then at the bottom of each page, I have my grades for different aspects of the stick, 1-10, for things such as appearance, ash, flavor, etc.
It gives me a nice reference to check over before I go to the b&m or if someone wants a recommendation.

My brother in law has a really nice leather bound journal with a little snap deal and the super thick unlined paper but he's that kind of guy. I like the lined paper, makes it easier to keep my stuff organized. Good luck!
