Statistics
Here are some statistics about my cigars and smoking.
These are 'live' statistics, drawn from an BaseRow database, so when I add scores, smoke a cigar, or when any other data changes, the stats will change accordingly. To compensate for one-hit wonders, cigars or brands that I have smoked less than 5 of, are filtered out. If/when BaseRow someday implements charts, I may add some more nice visuals.
Anyhow, don't take this section too seriously - it's just for fun!
Since 2022-01-15, I have smoked 157 unique cigars, and 568 sticks in total, which is an average of 3.81 cigars per week. Currently, I have 51 Unique cigars in my humidor, on a total of 227 sticks.

Dominican Republic
La Flor Domenicana Double Ligero Maduro 'Digger' Giant
Despite its size, the 'Digger' is a perfectly constructed cigar, with an impeccable, dark, leathery and oily wrapper, and notes of sweet chocolate, some earthy hummus, and spicy wood. In short: it's a cigar you have to try at least once!

Alec Bradley
In 1998, Alan Rubin teamed up with Ralph Montero, a prominent cigar professional. They employed Davidoff's master blender, Henke Kelner, to create the Occidental Reserve, the response proved that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and that pushed them to continue to develop cigars that they and others have been excited to smoke. - Cigar Century

Some Charts
The charts bellow are small experiment, as Baserow doesn't support native charts (yet).
These charts are generated in a Google Sheets document, that I currently maintain manually. Originally, I tried to keep the Sheet updated with a SureTrigger-connection, but while the triggers seemed to work, it wasn't an elegant solution, and required to much corrections. In the end, it seems easier to just manually update the sheet once a month.
Hopefully, BaseRow will charts natively one day.
Smoking Locations
Below you'll find a map of locations where I smoked a cigar (at least once) - or at least the places I remember. It's manually maintained, and may not - and probably will not - be entirely up to date. It's also not a heat map, just a simple visual representation of locations I smoked a cigar. If and when BaseRow ever supports geolocations, I may provide an auto-updated map. I really hope to see heat maps one day.
