Enjoyment stays subjective
A 1–10 enjoyment score captures your reaction without treating strength, price, or technical construction as the same thing.

Inside the workbook
Useful fields without unnecessary machinery.
The workbook is designed for normal spreadsheet use in Excel or Google Sheets. Replace the clearly marked examples and keep the facts you actually know.
Body and strength stay separate
Simple Mild, Medium, and Full choices prevent flavor weight from being confused with nicotine intensity.
Plain-language tasting notes
Broad flavors, draw, burn, construction, and smoking notes work even when your reaction is simply creamy, harsh, balanced, or boring.
Intent and value have their own fields
Repeat-buy intent, optional price paid, and value impression remain distinct from whether you enjoyed the cigar.
Start cleanly
How to use the template.
- 1
Replace the illustrative rows
The examples demonstrate a known smoke date, an intentional unknown date, and ordinary language rather than expert-only descriptors.
- 2
Use one row per smoke
Repeated experiences with the same cigar can reveal consistency, context, and changes over time.
- 3
Record known dates honestly
Enter the actual smoke date when reliable. Otherwise leave it blank and select Unknown instead of substituting today’s date.
- 4
Write the reaction you actually had
Keep enjoyment, strength, construction, repurchase intent, and value separate so a single score does not hide the useful parts.
