I'm a cigar noob. I've probably only smoked about 30 sticks in my life. And about 20 of those were in the past 2 years. I've been saving the bands and putting them in a little picture holder styled to look like an old travel suitcase.
Given the small amount of sticks that I've smoked it's still a manageable figure but I think my problem will quickly resemble yours in the not too distant future. I have smoked some cigars that were so delicious I don't think I could forget how tasty they were (I'm looking at you Alec Bradley Nica Puro) The idea of a notebook just seems like something I wouldn't be consistent with especially if I'm going to be coming to this site and asking you fellas for advice. Feel silly writing notes twice. A journal thread is a potential solution that I've been kicking around.
