Welcome to Talking Points , a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios . Buying a gift for a devoted enthusiast in any category can be tough. You want to show support for their passions, and also get them something they’ll actually enjoy, which can take research or guidance. If you have a cigar-lover in your life, you’re in luck. Cigora is the one-stop shop for expert advice , community conversation and, yes, holiday shopping for everyone from stogie newbies to cigar connoisseurs. The Backstory Cigora: A Virtual Lounge Many cigar enthusiasts agree that the best part about this interest is the community. There is just nothing quite like lighting up a quality cigar with friends and discussing its notes while catching up on life. But in the modern day, brick-and-mortar cigar lounges aren’t always accessible. Cigora saw that there was a need for a virtual lounge that could be open 24/7 and available to anyone, anywhere — so they built it. The site includes community forums, a blog with everything from 101 guides to deep dives, and a shop that sells the biggest names, the boutique upstarts and everything in between.
