Leighton's At The Lake — Local services in Village of Four Seasons

I heard about this place from a friend so on a quiet Tuesday afternoon I decided to make the 25 mile trip to check it out. The staff was friendly, they had a relatively small but well-stocked stocked humidor, and a nice lounge. As mentioned in a previous review, I was told it is a members only cigar lounge. There are various memberships with the least expensive being $375 for three months. I expressed my desire to purchase one cigar and enjoy it along with a good book, as I have done in literally every cigar lounge I’ve visited across the country. Being a nonmember I was offered an opportunity to join the one other customer in the lounge by making a minimum $50 cigar purchase. This was rather offputting to me even as a “fair solution for nonmembers“. I was also told I could go to a nearby liquor store and spend $50 but not be able to smoke there whereas, due to Leighton’s consumption license, I could enjoy my favorite adult beverage (BYOB) along with a cigar. A rather strange analogy. Since our needs are mutually exclusive I have no plans to return whether it be solo or with friends. I do however wish them good luck with...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands down the best cigar experience near the Lake of the Ozarks!

Leighton’s at the Lake is an absolute gem for cigar lovers. The selection of cigars is top-notch—from premium classics to Leighton's custom boutique blends, they’ve curated something for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just starting out.

What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It’s located just minutes from the lake, making it the perfect spot to relax before or after a day on the water. The lounge is clean, welcoming, and has the kind of laid-back vibe you’d hope for in a true cigar bar.

The staff and owners are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They’re always ready with a recommendation based on your tastes, and they go out of their way to make sure every guest feels at home. You’re not just buying a cigar—you’re stepping into a community of good people and good conversation.

Whether you’re local or visiting the area, this place is a must-visit destination for cigar enthusiasts. Great service, unbeatable location, and a world-class humidor—Leighton’s at the Lake deserves to be on every cigar...

On a long weekend and weather dropped from 80 to 27 so stopped in while kids were napping hoping to buy a cigar and smoke there like majority of shops/lounges in St. Louis. Saw they had memberships so I came in and asked if they were private only and the employee said there was a $50 minimum to smoke there. I would have been willing to pay an extra $5-10 for a day pass on top of the cigar I purchase, but I have fully stocked humidors at home and only needed the place to smoke. Providing this feedback in hopes they rethink this during the off season since there was only 1-2 other cars in the parking lot at 2pm on a Saturday. Otherwise staff was friendly and seemed like...
