The Story

Behind Smoke & Cask

Built on a love of the leaf, the pour, and the people gathered around them.

Founder

Timothy Manspile

Smoke & Cask was created by Timothy Manspile — a cigar and whiskey-obsessed operator with a passion for hospitality, education, and building spaces where people actually want to linger.

The idea is simple. Bring the best of both worlds to people who care about them, in settings that feel intentional. Whether that’s a backyard, a private club, a winery patio, or one day, our own lounge.

What sets the experience apart isn’t just the inventory — though that’s carefully built. It’s the framing. Every pairing has a reason. Every cigar has a story. Every evening is designed to feel like an honest conversation between people who appreciate the same things.

What We Believe

The Approach

01

Intentional Selection

Every cigar and pour is chosen for a reason — not just availability. Pairings are tested.

02

Education, Not Pretension

We want you to know what you’re tasting and why — without making anyone feel like they’re behind.

03

Hospitality First

Everything is built around the room, the guests, and the occasion — not a script.

Want to host an evening?

Tell us about the occasion — we’ll build the rest.
