I tend to take the cello off, but I don't dig through my stuff very often. If I did, the cello would stay on. I'm odd - I know right where I put something and I'll think about what I'm going to smoke for the night before I open the humi up. They just look better with the cello off! :)

I have other ways of organizing when my cigars came in, but it's a sweet idea to write the date on the cello. Maybe that is one more reason to keep the cello on!

There is no blender but Litto Gomez, and I wish I was his merchant.

I go rumaging through my humi every day just to remember what I have and to see which one I am going to smoke. I tend to leave the cello on and write the date on them as well, that way I know if they are rested or how long I have had them aging.

I always take the cello off before I put new cigars in my humidor because I find they stack better that way, and they look better that way (which is important I guess?). I don't do a whole lot of rumaging through my sticks as I have a pretty good knowledge of what I have, so I have never had any problems with cigars being damaged. I really do like the idea of writing dates on the cello for aging purposes though.

Everyone likes the writing of the date, but what do you write with?

In my experience anything that writes on Cello is chemical and smells very badly.... anything non harsh won't stick to cello...

What do you guys use?

Have you tried sticky labels with a sharpie?

I use masking tape and a ball point pen. It doesnt do anything to the cigars, and if you decide to take it off it peels off very easily.

similar thing here. i get a longer bit of tape and put the date on it for all the cigars that i got in that shipment in sharpie (ball point fades and smears on masking tape in an aging humidor) i let it dry for a bout a minute. once there is no smell i cut them out and place on the cellophane.

Okay... the sharpie and tape thing sounds the best...

At least I know that the sharpie won't leave a smell after it dries, that's what I was worried about

So far there has been no fading or smearing (I have been doing ths for only the last two months). I might have to switch over to a sharpie though to avoid it in the future. Another thing I have been considering doing is getting a notebook and keeping all my info in there. This will eliminate anything going wrong inside my humi.

Some nice ideas and advice in this thread. I personally leave them the way I purchased them. Since I buy 99% online all of my cigars come in cello so they stay in cello. I was wondering about this same thing brought up in this thread last week. Glad I found these forums. I like the idea of marking them.

I have a notebook that I keep dates for when shipments come in. The issue is when I order singles of some of my favorites multiple times - unless I have a way to separate the sticks or differentiate, the notebook doesn't really help. A combination of both would certainly be the best way to go about it.

It's BORKs not BOTLs

There is no blender but Litto Gomez, and I wish I was his merchant.

I do have a premade and well-made cigar/humidor spreadsheet that I use... It's made by another company (Whom I've never heard of, but I don't want to disrespect C.COM) but it's very useful and can have you keep track of up to like 5 humi's and has a section for reviews... PM me if you'd like a copy!

Yeah I'm bad about this, been meaning to do this but I never do. Luckily I can remember what I have in there, got a bunch of Opus's reaching over a year...
