Genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe. Staff was very knowledgeable, courteous, and personal. Took the time to teach and discuss the wide selection they have with a co-worker who was already versed himself helping him learn more. Visiting from out of state so have to say this would be a spot I would frequent if I were local. Good times with good company.

I would consider myself a novice cigar aficionado and honestly have not been to many cigar lounges as I live in the country but was in Branson for the weekend with family and much to our dismay Branson is a smoke-free community so myself and son-in-law were looking for somewhere to enjoy our past-time as it was also fairly cold this weekend, it is mid-December. I found this on the map and we are so glad we found this place. The atmosphere is great not loud and not library quiet. The TV's were playing basketball and enjoyed the fact the volume was not turned up trying to mix in with the gentle music playing in the background. The lounge is filled with comfortable chairs and couches along with tables arranged for those wanting to play cards or games as well. Being a cold night it was not too hot or too cold inside. We sat by the door with the high wing back chairs and it was comfortable with the faux fire space heater near by. My son-in-law and I were able to have conversation easily and not have to yell to hear each other as can be the case if you are in crowded bars. Air quality was great, smoke not hanging in the air but not so scrubbed that you couldn't tell it was a cigar lounge. From the pictures others have posted you can see that it is an exquisite old building that fits right into the setting of being a great lounge. I would say the humidor was on the small side as it goes for humidors, but this is not a cigar/tobacco store it is a lounge. So for the sake of the lounge it was sufficient. I greatly appreciate the fact that the cigars were distinctly arranged by maker, not all humidors succeed in this area. For the size there is a great selection in maker, variety within makers and wide range of pricing. Since I come from near a big city I would say pricing was on par with anyone else and honestly the stick I bought was not really any cheaper online so I would say it is fair pricing. It is not giving it away, but it is not trying to make a salary on one stick either. I appreciate that the owner also supports smaller makers that pulls in a great variety and is not just stocking the big names. For this visit I grabbed a stick from Founders Cigars, a Roosevelt Maduro. Great flavor. From my palate a slight pepper to it but not overwhelming, very smooth with earthy, leather, woody tones. I really enjoyed it and Founders is a veteran owned company. The gentlemen behind the bar was super! Very friendly, checked on us a few times just to make sure we were enjoying our time. Complimentary water bottle which was greatly appreciated. If your are near and have time to enjoy a stick this is the spot to be. To the owner, well done!

Very nice place on a beautiful old street with lots of character. So many nice aspects to this place. Music was subdued and not overwhelmingly loud. Furniture was comfortable, lighting was sufficient without being too dark or too bright. Decore was classy without being gaudy. For the size of the lounge the humidor was more than adequate and had a very nice selection of cigars which were also very reasonably priced. The bar and alcohol selection was more than sufficient. Has someone who visits cigar lounges in almost every city I visit I would highly recommend a trip to Ember's cigar lounge if you're ever in the Branson Missouri area. And I highly recommend the prohibition old fashioned. Don't worry, the alcohol is actually in a bottle inside the book.

Nice place, comfortable seating areas. Drink selection was decent, some good bourbon, could use a few quality scotches. Cigar humidor is medium small size but some good aquatics to choose from. Friendly atmosphere, good ventilation. Clean place that was a nice treat to hang out while the girls went shopping.
