Unlike the flawless Davidoff sticks, my Zinos had light brown wrappers that were littered small green splotches, veins, and some uneven bumps (all of which failed to show up on the photo for some reason). Besides, in a nod to my September Commentary, the manufacturer has the decency to write “Classic” across the side of the band and “Premium Selection” on a cellophane sticker.

But that is only half the battle, the other piece is using some <a href="http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesProductDisplay?prodCatType=0&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=37690&cmArea=SC1:CG24:CL158984" rel="nofollow">color coding labels</a> to add some short-hand notes and stick it to the cello wrapper. My B&M puts the price tag on every stick, so I am just coving up their sticker. Now those very similar looking cigars can track over to a more detailed line in your sheet, or if you write small enough you can list it all on the new label. I don't know if I am obsessive compulsive or not but since my memory fades faster and faster it sure does help identify what I bought and stashed away.

I buy so many different cigars, I can't really keep track. It would be so easy just to print the info on the edge of the band or underneath so you can't see it until you remove it. Two cheers for you! I have been wanting this since I started smoking. I buy so many different cigars, I can't really keep track.
