Cigar database software

[Biyobe-cl]

Hey just wondering if anybody has found a good software program to track the goods in their humi? I have been using Cigar Register... but not quite sure if I like it yet. I keep searching google, but haven't really found anything decent yet.

I use Stogie Rate, software developed by Doc Stogie Fresh:

Looks interesting from the few screenshots on the site. No link to purchase/download though.

Well that software definitely looks good. The program Cigar Register is ok, but this looks MUCH better. I am working on my order and will be sure to let everybody know what I think.

Oh and yeah!!! POST 50

Does anyone on the forum know how to use FileMaker Pro? That would probably be the best cross platform database for our use.

I must be psychic, after looking at Stogie rate, it is made in FileMaker!

[Biyobe-cl]

I don't know anything about FileMaker, but the software was only $5.99... figured that is a decent price to give the software a try. Too bad it is not available for download after purchase... I now must wait for the magical day in my mailbox

I have an Excel spreadsheet, if anyone is interested.

Just PM me with your email address and I will send it to you.

Hey Tim, thanks for the spreadsheet!!!! That is definitely a nice way to track prices on the internet and the smokes in my humidor. Hopefully the software I purchased is kind of similar Plus that spreadsheet will be good to track bombs and bombers!!

So I received my software and I have it copied to my computer. Has anybody used this out there? It came with what looks to be an exisiting database of cigars.... do I have to actually go through and delete each one of those? Is there anyway to start with a fresh database and add them as I purchase cigars? If anybody has suggestions on how to use this database I'm all ears

I've used Cigar Register but I just couldn't really get into it. I'll give Stogie Rate a look.

ya the Cigar Register seemed like it could have been a good program... but I found it more of a hassle and I didn't really like the review section. You just selected numbers 1-20 and it created your overall score... It seemed like all my cigars ended up being right between 15-17 no matter how good or bad they were... ones I loved ended up with a lower score than ones I thought were just ok. Obviously that is because of the ratings I was giving... but I think the Stogie Rate will be much better. Just need to figure out how to use this as a inventory tracker also.

If I'm reading things right.... I need to create an entry for the cigars when I purchase them (one record for ie a box) and then as I smoke them i need to make another entry to have multiple reviews on the same type??? Thanks to anybody that has some input on the software.

According to http://www.stogiefresh.com/stogie_rate_help.htm

You will find quite a few cigars already in the database so you can see how the database works. If you don't want these other cigars included in your database, you can simply delete them, or you can modify them to your needs.
