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?

Invite me I'll bring some smokes, if I remember.

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!
