Our Story

Built for the
Brotherhood

Leaf Brothers Cigars started in 2018 at our original West Des Moines location. We inherited a beautiful space and transformed it into something special — a place where cigar culture, great company, and the finest leaf come together.

In 2020 we opened our Ankeny District location in a beautifully appointed space. With over a decade in the industry and 20+ years as an avid smoker, owner Chris built exactly the lounge he always wanted to smoke in.

We're the only cigar lounge in Des Moines offering legal liquor consumption on premise. Come for the leaf, stay for the brotherhood.

We Know Where
It All Begins

Our passion goes deeper than the humidor. Chris has visited the tobacco farms and rolling factories of Nicaragua — walking the fields, meeting the growers, and seeing firsthand the craft that goes into every stick we carry.
