Pipe & Tobacco Inventory Program (Windows)

[jfox520]

I am in the process of writing a program for Pipe & Tobacco inventory. Does any know a place where I could get a list Tobaccos?

I imagine you'd prefer a direct DB dump with all the info, to which I don't know of any. Perhaps contacting the site admin for tobaccoreviews?

Either an online vender like smokingpipes.com ot a tobacco review site like tobaccoreviews.com would probably be a good starting point.

You mean a database of companies and blends - current place I an think of would be http://www.tobaccocellar.com/ - might contact them and ask if they'd share their current database?
Are you writing a plain-jane windows (VB)/db app or are you writing a cloud app, that could be accessible from phone, notebook and computer?
I would suggest the latter and then if you don't have a tobacco database let your users populate the content and make content updates globally over time.

As a starting point I am writing a .Net/DB application. I will try these suggestion and see what happens.

I've love to see it when you get it done - but as far as usability goes - I've been hoping someone with skills would do something like wunderlist or evernote has done. Platform Agnostic: functionality across multiple platforms, same database.
Market potential is nice because you can have a charge for premium functionality regardless of platform.

I was thinking that I would start with the base program and then create an android app that would sync up. That way the user is not limited to just a phone app trying to enter information on a small screen and software keyboard.
