Anyone else with cigar memory overload

[tjhemp]

I have realized lately that when I smoke a cigar I like for whatever reason and then after smoking a number of others over the next few weeks I no longer remember why I liked that particular cigar. I tend to smoke a lot of different cigars trying to find new things but I so easily forget the ones I liked before and why.

I have chatted with some BOTL's that seem to remember every smoke they have had and why.

Anyone else have this issue and how do you remember them?

I was going to post something relevant but I forgot what it was

I'm like that with plenty of things, but then again I'm one of those ADD guys.

For beers (commercial) I use Untappd to better keep track. Maybe you could keep some sort of notes for your sticks. I keep thinking I should do that.

i use a spreadsheet to track where my purchases are in the wineador, when i bought them, and cost. I also use it to keep notes and ratings so When trolling for cigars I can see if I previously rated something high and why.

Surprisingly the notes hold up over time.

I repurposed an old Rolodex and glue the cigar band to the cards, with the date, vitola and relevant tasting notes. Plus I've been on a reviewing binge, so that helps too

Just look at it like you are always smoking a new cigar! Variety never ends. Works for me!

Kayla sent me an awesome little cigar journal that helps me keep track; when I remember to use it...

My memory sucks, notes keep me chugging along.

I keep telling myself I need to get a note book, but I always forget.

I think I may need to try the notebook route.

If I like a cigar, I like it. I don't really care why I like it. If I don't like it, same thing: don't care why. Good is good, bad is bad.
So...
If I really like a cigar I toss the band in a corner of my humidor. If it's just 'meh' or I don't care for it, I toss the band in the trash.

It's simple and easy. There's no way I'm over-complicating this by keeping a journal. I've got enough to do.
