Kudos to to JD the proprietor for the hidden gem he has. It's a quiet laid back place to enjoy a good cigar and a great cocktail. The staff are all friendly with an excellent selection of cigars. A great place to meet with friends and make new ones. read more

What a great lounge! Visited this establishment while I was in town from Houston, TX. Love, Love , Love! The service, relaxed ambiance, woodwork, photos, people, cigar selection, spirits, were all on point! Bethany, her husband, members Lynn, James, female with short blonde hair DST soror, bartender Jason and other female (sorry forgot her name) truly were all welcoming and inviting! Thank you Bethany for being an enthusiast, enlightening me on the difference of cigars. Lynn for my tour and introducing me to Dr. Stoner's tequila. Jason for my creative, special marshmallow drink. When in Winston again, this will for sure, be my spot! read more

See all

Been there twice and both times it was an awesome experience! Both Hannah and Ebony were outstanding behind the bar!

Nice environment, clean establishment. Parking is a little tight, but free! No food, but the bar is on point with TV's

Went to this place because it's up the road from the house. The owner and his family are sweethearts. Will definitely visit again. Great atmosphere the ventilation is outstanding. You almost didn't know you were in a cigar lounge. read more

Disappointed in the new incarnation of Top Leaf. I had been to the old version, raved about it, told all my cigar smoking friends about it, but I moved away from the area so haven't been back in several years. Happened to be in the area today so thought I'd stop in for a smoke and catch up with the owners, but GPS took me to a different location. Went in expecting the same awesome experience but it turns out they changed to a private club and you need to be a member to smoke there. Sorry not for me. I should be able to smoke a cigar I purchase there without having to pay some outrageous fee for the privilege. I won't be back. Very disappointed too. I really liked the old place. read more

Great place to chill and enjoy a drink and cigar! Hannah provided great bar service. Multiple tv screens, big boy chairs and a large bar.

Despite being recommended to me by my barber Carlos (of The Oval Office on 4th St.), I have driven by this cigar shop/lounge countless times without stopping in. It's easy to miss, being in a converted house on a hill near a stoplight on 1st Street. Needing to get some late-minute cigars to celebrate the birth of a grandchild, my hand was recently forced. When you enter you are greeted by a couple of rooms with plentiful seats and ash trays. It's the kind of place where people notice when you come in and acknowledge you. I didn't have a chance to browse in the humidors because I was looking for something fairly specific. It's not the biggest humidor I have seen but alot of very large humidors simply have redundant product so no big deal. Bethany helped me find a new box of 10 cigars and offered a 20% discount, which was thoughtful. I don't smoke enough to justify the $30 monthly fee for the lounge, but I will make a point of coming back by more often now that I know what is on the inside. read more

Cool cigar bar! It is open until 10:00 on Wednesday, not 8:00. Good cigar selection. Hannah does a nice job behind the bar. 12 minute walk from Marriott. read more

Great place, great staff and very nice smokers. I did the one day pass because I was passing through watching my grandson play baseball. Good sticks at good prices... read more

First visit to Top Leaf Cigar Lounge. They were very welcoming, friendly, and informative. Because this is a cigar lounge they have a large humidor with a good cigar selection. The cigars are fairly priced. Purchasing cigars from the lounge is proper etiquette, and it's how they keep the doors open. The lounge has a great selection of liquor and have several local craft beers on tap. Great comfortable chairs and sofas with plenty of TV's. A great way to spend a few hours. read more

Visited them for my first cigar. The gentleman that helped me was extremely courteous and didn't treat me like an idiot. If I was a local I would absolutely come back regularly. read more

What a great lounge ! I was visiting from San Diego and found them on Yelp. Bethany was very helpful and knowledgeable about their selection of Cigars. The humidor was well stocked with great cigars. The owners and customers were very welcoming and social. I travel quite a bit and visit lots of Cigar shops and this place is a real gem. The humidor is quality over quantity with lots of boutique cigars and I was able to find lots of stuff that I haven't smoked before. One of the most friendly shops I have ever been to. read more

Beats driving to Burlington or damn near Charlotte to get a box of cigars. The money you'll save in gas will surely be significant savings.

If you're anywhere in the area, and love cigars this is the place for you. I live in Seattle, I will always go out of my way to stop by, even if I am not really that close to Winston-Salem. The charm is the people. It's hard to explain the "X" factor, but it is there. Top leaf is alive. Without the trappings cigar bars usually offer. Instead, Top Leaf's speciality is REAL human connection with interesting conversations, and a feeling of homelike comfort: Its the closest thing to the show Cheers you could get, and that's from the moment you walk in the door.Top Leaf 4L! Also hey Beth, and Byron, and Doc. read more

Great place to hang out and the owner is fabulous. Will be better when they move to mew location. Steve Norell Smoke Inn Cigars Southern Pines read more

What a great little cigar lounge. Only been there twice but the owner Bethany was great and not to mention great looking. The selection is on the smaller size but what is there is great. They are going to be moving to a new location which will be much bigger and have a bar. This will make them one of the premium cigar lounges in the state. Cant wait for it. I highly recommend anyone in town looking for a place to smoke go to Top Leaf. Steve Norell Smoke Inn NC Southern Pines read more

Very good cigar lounge. Three different lounges, two with a tv, one doesn't. They carry a small but very good selection of cigars. Bethany and J. D. own it and they are very nice people. Their enthusiasm is so refreshing! They treat everyone as a friend! There is a $5 daily membership fee and a $30 monthly fee. The monthly fee includes 5% discount on cigars purchased there. I highly recommend Top leaf!! read more

A welcoming community of leaf lovers. A converted house on the hill off 1st street, with comfortable leather chairs, and nice selection. However, the owners, Bethany and JD would get this place a 5 star rating all by themselves. They are kind and have exceptional hospitality and they know a great deal about cigars making your visit a very nice experience. read more

Great lounge with a nice selection and great, friendly atmosphere. No alcohol sales but coffee, water, soft drinks for sale. 3 stand alone humidors with a variety of cigars to choose from. There is a day rate or monthly membership. Parking can be tight but its worth stopping by and enjoying a cigar. read more

Great spot and great vibe. Only other cigar lounge with music I've been to is owl shop in New Haven, CT. Like every cigar lounge review that's positive the owners set the vibe. Selection is limited but selective and strong. If you want a specific stick they may not have but ask for a recommendation. You won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent cigar lounge. Owners are very friendly and helpful in steering you to a good smoke. We'll be back
