I have the day off with plans to get my weekly yardwork done, only to a steady rain.
Plan B, go through my cigars and recharge the HF beads, swap out the Bovedas and recharge the old ones, organize, consolidate and do a mental inventory.
This is always an eye opener for me. I don't keep any kind of ongoing organized inventory, I am a guesstimator.
What did I learn?
1. I don't have as many cigars as I thought. My guess was 400 cigars with actual count of 338. Nothing major and I don't feel abused nor neglected.
2. I thought I had around 50 cubans and actual count was 34. This needs attention.
3. About 50% of my cigars are what I absolutely love which includes HE,LE, CC's and some of the boutique stuff. I guess I am kind of a snob since I seem to chase some of this stuff and seem to enjoy them more than most commonly found cigars. I actually thought the percent was higher.
4. I have more Anejos than I thought. I need to smoke these more often and try to snag more 888's when and if they show up again. They are my favorite Anejo, even over 46's and 77's.
5. I thought I was out of storage space, but have room for 4 more boxes in the coolerdor. Before consolidating some stuff my cooler was FULL. Emptied 5 boxes and now have room. Actually it is probably where I should keep it, about 85% full. Oh yeah, I need to get more Habanos.
6. I don't have any damaged, moldy or bug problems and all appear to be in great shape. If I ever find cigars that show any wrapper damage they are the next ones to get smoked, but haven't really had any issues lately.
Well, that's about it. I probably learned other stuff but am too slow to recognize it. I try to do this twice a year, with recharging done about 4 times a year.
Life is pretty good even if it is raining!
