Turlocker Elias Martinez is a cigar aficionado – no easy task for a man living in a town without a cigar shop. Like many locals, Martinez was forced to drive to Modesto or even Fresno to find the sort of premium cigars that enthusiasts enjoy. But earlier this month, that all changed. Martinez decided to turn his passion into a business by opening the doors of Ciganos Fine Cigar Lounge in Downtown Turlock, the city's first cigar shop and lounge.
