Cigar Tasting Notes Template: A Simple Format That Improves Every Log

Most cigar notes fail because they are vague: "good draw," "nice smoke," "would buy again." That language cannot guide future decisions.

A structured cigar tasting notes template gives you comparable logs, not random memories.

The 6 Fields to Track Every Time

Context: time available, pairing, location
Construction: draw, burn line, ash stability
Flavor progression: first, second, final third
Strength and body: mild/medium/full with confidence
Emotional result: relaxed, focused, overstimulated
Repurchase decision: no, single, or box-worthy
