About Us
Creekside Cigar Co. is a premium boutique cigar shop and lounge at 1381 US-22 in Maineville, Ohio, just outside Cincinnati, and an online cigar store that ships to eligible U.S. addresses. We were named a PCA Best of the Leaf 2025 winner in the Cigar Lounge category by the Premium Cigar Association. Our motto is simple: Smoke in Good Company.
Our story
Creekside started with three friends — Dave Imber, Dave Wik and Brandon Gilliam — who shared a love of cigars and a belief that the Cincinnati area deserved a lounge built around hospitality. We opened our doors in Maineville in April 2024.
For Dave Imber, the idea goes back to a night at Rodriguez Cigars in Key West. He stopped in as the shop was closing, and instead of being shown the door, he was invited to stay, handed a great cigar and talked with the owner for hours. That night showed him what a cigar shop could be: a place where strangers become friends. Before Creekside, Dave spent years in the cigar industry learning about tobacco and blending, and he brought those relationships home to Ohio.
The lounge
Our lounge is open to the public seven days a week. Inside you'll find:
- A glass and cedar-lined walk-in humidor with 700+ cigars
- A 2,000 square foot lounge with comfortable seating and hospital-grade air filtration
- Bring your own beverage, with complimentary rocks glasses, whiskey glasses and frozen beer glasses
- Private lounge memberships with climate-controlled lockers and a members-only lounge
- Brand nights, socials and member events throughout the year
We do things a little differently than most shops. About 75 percent of our humidor is smaller, boutique brands, and about 25 percent is the bigger heritage names. We love putting great small producers in front of people.

Only at Creekside
Creekside Customs are small-batch cigars blended for Creekside and released quarterly. Each one has a story behind it, like SPG 1947, made to honor the late father of one of our lounge regulars. Queen of the West Bel D'Oro, made at Tabacalera La Isla, is our first full release. We also partner with brands like Warped, Crowned Heads and HVC on Creekside exclusives.
The Creekside Cigar Club
Can't make it to the lounge? Our crew picks a box of boutique and limited cigars every month and announces the lineup on the podcast. The Classic plan starts at $60 a month, and the quarterly Select plan features ultra-premium and allocated releases. Skip or cancel anytime.
The Creekside Podcast
Every week, the crew records the Creekside Podcast right here in the lounge. We sit down with the people who make the cigars, answer your questions, run blind tastings and talk about what we're smoking. Every cigar we light on the show is in the shop.
