CLM Cigar Journal
We have mentioned our CLM Cigar Journal in several previous episodes. We now have it available for sale from our Merch page. We took the things we liked about cigar journals and corrected some things that we did not care for. Aside from having places to note down the date, brand, name, where purchased, rating, etc. There are some improvements we think are worth it. In almost all cigar journals the band placement is in one spot which makes the journal thick in one place as you add your bands. We have staggered the band placement across four pages to even out the distribution as the journal becomes thicker. To make reference of cigars much easier, we placed a Table of Contents at the beginning. With this it is easy to go back and find a specific cigar and what page that cigars review is on. We think you’ll like it and of course is a great gift for the serious cigar smoker.
