How old is the Hartford Club?…read more It goes way back to 1873 and was established for "Gentlemen who had agreed to form an Association for the promotion of social intercourse, art and literature". That is one helluva Mission Statement. Mark Twain was a member in the early 1880's. I wonder if he was in the house the night in 1885 when the Club hosted a party for Buffalo Bill Cody? That must have been one Wild night. I attended a private party at the Hartford Club last night, and it was my first visit to this very beautiful establishment. I loved the décor -old dark wood everywhere and a gorgeous gold leaf coffered ceiling. Pure elegance. We enjoyed a carving station, a stir fry station, half a dozen appetizer trays and some butler style hors d'oeuvres. It was all kind of perfect. Thanks for a pretty cool experience!

You can tell from the moment you walk in, the building has been here for a long time. It's in good condition considering the age. Once the nostalgia wore off, it was disappointing. Some of the employees were amazing. A few were ill prepared and had bad attitudes. The food was adequate at best. There were roasted potatoes which had no flavor, roast beef which also had no flavor, and Chicken Francese which was OK.

The humidor is filled with some of the hardest to find boutique labels whose names are so hot and new I cannot recall and some of the fastest rising stars in the industry like Foundation Cigar Co. Can you get your Fuente there? Sure, but why would you? You may think that's what you went in for, but the owner, Peter has so much that he can tell you about all of the cigars in his humidor. He can find you something BETTER than what you initially wanted and it will make you excited about coming back to see what else you might find! In addition to the forward thinking offerings in the humidor, Knights also carries an array of accessories from Lotus which (while not my cup of tea) make excellent quality cutters and lighters with very modern aesthetics. If I had to gripe about something its the fact that I have to drive a half hour to get there! If you're a cigar smoker, do yourself a favor and get out to Knights Cigar Lounge!

I haven't been disappointed by a single stick from this establishment despite not knowing what these brands were or the taste profiles. I trusted in the owner and he did not disappoint. I give this place five stars.
