Our Story

Bootleggers Cigars & Apothecary is Washington, MO’s go-to destination for premium cigars, fine artisanal spirits, and unique apothecary goods. Founded with the goal of bringing something truly distinctive to the local community, we combine the refined atmosphere of a specialty cigar shop with the warm, approachable vibe that caters to our blue-collar roots. Our journey began at farmer’s markets, where our handcrafted beard oils, soaps, balms, and baked goods quickly gained a loyal following. Those early experiences inspired us to open a brick-and-mortar location that would bring high-quality products and a laid-back atmosphere under one roof.

Mr. Sieving, our owner, and founder was a chef for 20 years with a culinary background and then went into retail and manufacturing and started doing farmers markets with the baked goods and beard oils and decided to start a storefront. Since then we have grown into a reputable store for gifts and goods in the local area!

At Bootleggers, we go beyond cigars to offer an array of luxurious products and indulgences. We proudly feature an extensive collection of high-end, artisanal spirits, allowing our customers to savor the finest bourbon, whiskey, and more. For those in search of delectable treats, our shop also offers freshly baked goods such as pastries, bagels, and Danish pastries, ensuring a delightful experience with every bite.

In addition to our tobacco and gastronomic offerings, we take pride in our unique assortment of specialty products. Our shelves are adorned with chef's blend all-purpose seasonings, bourbon barrels and maple syrup aged in-house, and a range of exquisite leather products including wallets, purses, totes, belts, and more. For grooming enthusiasts, we curate an extensive selection of beard oils and balms, as well as handmade soaps, ensuring that every aspect of self-care is covered.

At Bootleggers Cigars & Apothecary, we understand that ambiance plays a vital role in creating an unforgettable experience. With our heated patio overlooking the river, our customers can relax and enjoy their cigars, drinks, and snacks in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Inside, we provide a walk-in humidor, ensuring that our cigars are stored and preserved at the ideal humidity levels. Our laid-back, welcoming space offers a respite from the outside world, allowing our clients to unwind, socialize, and indulge in the finer things life has to offer.

Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer, Bootleggers Cigars & Apothecary promises to deliver a refined and pleasurable experience. Our knowledgeable staff is always on hand to provide personalized recommendations, ensuring that each visit to our establishment is a memorable one.

On 10/5/2025 Stacey T. had this to say:
First of all, the owner is a phenomenal human being. I was greeted warmly, offered a cocktail, and shown various items around the shop. My husband was helped with the purchase of a cigar, which he enjoyed thoroughly. I enjoyed an absinthe root beer cocktail on the patio which over looks the river. I also purchased an insomnia relief candle and handmade soap. I can't recommend this place enough! The hospitality was on point and I can't wait to go back!!

Went to a tasting here ... heirloom corn whiskey (Willow Jane and Baby Jane whiskey) and several rye whiskeys....lots of fun and then the owner was most welcoming and had us try one of his personal favorites. It's worth stopping in ..
