A bit of a resurrection,
but thought I'd keep my post tidy and add to this previously made thread.
A good friend advised what he does to label his cigars, so gave it a try.
Basically you use a small round sticker - stuck to the cigar's band.
A nice, practical idea, but I'm not sure the band collectors amongst us will like it

They would have been great to have when I filled the humi with various singles from ask over the place, might actually be worth getting LEs so I can be sure of the date
Bad choice of words really. Last time I bought a few 5 packs and singles and created my own really. There was one sample pack in there to be fair haha!
I wanted to buy a few samplers to try and next time I will probably go for boxes which will make it easier to label
Nooo! Dont' get those bloody samplers. Terrible selection of all of them!
If you can build your own sampler, that would be excellent. or.. perhaps. we can make an unofficial UKCF sampler set!! Just an idea..
As for the boxes.. well. here and there. I just purchase cigars in huge binges 3-4 times a year. that way, i can keep track of the ages in a knifty little note beside my humidor. No need to go out to boxes all of a sudden . Especially when you're at a 100+ct humidor; where are those boxes going to be stored?? (unless, of course, you're talking about those small 3-5 cigar boxes they have at the aeroport)
I agree for the singles it's a pain in the back side, but its done a job for now.
I wanted to buy a few samplers to try and next time I will probably go for boxes which will make it easier to label. On the back of the cards I'm going to write the date of purchase on which will be less confusing trying to remember in the future.
However, next time you get a box of RYJ 2s or any boxes of tens, use the dividers those come with. Nice and easy.
Yours sure do look good. Not a word of lie there.
But those look too temporary to be as efficient. Especially when those are single sticks
I had an idea of using old business cards as labels to organise my cigars. I scored the cards with a knife to make the folding easier. I also used stickers from the cigar wrappers as a quick way of naming.
