What is inside
- Cover & title page — for hard-binding or three-ring presentation
- Methodology summary — six dimensions, point allocations, score bands
- 30 review spreads — each cigar gets a left-page entry sheet and a right-page running-notes sheet
- Pre-printed scoring grids — Construction (0-5), Draw (0-20), Flavor (0-35), Balance (0-20), Evolution (0-15), Value (0-5)
- Pairing & setting fields — the cigar context matters; record it
How to bind
Print double-sided on quality paper (24-28 lb, ivory or natural white). Hole-punch the left margin and bind with screw-posts, comb binding, or a simple three-ring presentation cover. The journal lives on your humidor desk.
For travel, print only the rubric reference and 4-6 review spreads on lighter paper and tuck them into a cigar wallet.
