Mickey Blake’s Cigars and Golf

Had the pleasure of being invited by my friend, fellow elite, and MB member for a session after dinner one night. I don’t have a lot of experience with lounges such as Mickey Blake’s but I do have a major appreciation for the time I had. The layout, the people, the atmosphere, amenities and the expert guidance on just what to puff (and sip!) all in the company of folks who have a real affinity for the cigar culture. Only 15 minutes from home too. Hmmm ;-7

I’m a professional pilot and myself and our other pilot were on a 3 days layover in Hatford. We always try to find cigar lounges wherever we go and I came across this little gem on Unilocal.I can tell you, this is the nicest cigar lounge in CT, and the indoor golf made it all the more impressive. Their cigar selection had something for everyone and the gentleman who was helping us was very knowledgable and helpful. The Member lounge was absolutely awesome, with plenty of sitting room, poker table, and TVs everywhere. We will absolutely make this a mandatory stop every time we’ve got some time in Hartford. Thanks again for the hospitality.

Great place to hang out and get a good cigar. Wish their membership is was a little less expensive because it’s very nice but not really worth the money to be a member

Really, really good selection

The lounge here is about 3x larger and 3x nicer than most others. And you don’t need to be a «member» to use it.

Definitely all that you need for an hour or two of R&R with a cigar! For the area, this place is great, wish there were more places like this around. Very comfortable leather seating, nice quiet atmosphere and excellent cigar selection! Environmentally controlled wine racks for members to use, private humidor lockers available, nice TVs, several seating areas, golf simulator and a members card table. (BYOB). My wife and I spent an hour there last weekend and she enjoyed it as well. I’m heading back this weekend and I look forward to spending more time there.

Great cigar lounge! Best in CT! Customers are treated with the upmost respect and fun is had by all! With the opening of the New Mickey Blakes in Milford, you can enjoy a cigar on both sides of CT! You have to go and see for yourself!

I like the good variety of cigars in their humidor. Although my favorite is the Camacho Corojo Toro. Good staff and never met a bad patron. Glad they are in this area. If you like golf, they have a few machines to play your favorite course on. Nice.

Despite Mickey Blake’s expanding into Milford, the service continues to be exceptional! There will be some very upset cigar lounges if any are near the new location because you simply can’t beat this world class establishment! One of my favorite ways to unwind with friends after a long day or week!

One of the best lounges in the state. Huge lounge and a well stocked humidor. Standard brands like Fuente, Padron, LFD, My Father, Tatuaje/L’Atelier, CLE, Drew Estate, Nat Sherman, Ashton, Oliva, La Autora, etc. plus boutique brands like La Palina, Quesada, Rapture, Aging Room, Fratello, 7 20 4, Illusione, Saga, Caldwell, Reinado, Matilde and the like. You really won’t be disappointed. Service is great — very friendly and helpful. It’s one of my favorite places to hang out.

Mickey Blake’s knows how to run a business! They have something for everyone — the newbie, the connoisseur, and everyone in between. Their selection is second to none.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and make cigars approachable. The lounge and golf areas are a great idea and are well kept.
Great place to find a gift for that guy in your life who has everything — even if he’s only an occassional enjoyer of cigars!

1.) Just to warm you up (with another lighter):
I was invited by Unilocaler extraordinaire and cigar aficionado, Jason S. He sure knows his shhhhhhhh
*beep*
I’m new to the game of cigars so today I was shadowing this fine gentleman.
2.) What your eyes may see:
Lounge type in the back. Simulated golf courses, public lounge and a members lounge. In the member’s lounge are large TVs, liquor bottles displayed, lockers for members to store their goods, fridge for members to store their beverages because it’s BYOB, dimly lit, well ventilated, nice leather seats, and classy gentlemen.
3.) The products:
An overwhelming amount of mild, medium and «knock the smokes off your butt» cigars from Honduras, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic. They sell everything related to smoking and caring for your cigar — lighters, humidors, cases, etc. I tried two cigars — Herrera Esteli and Aging Room F55. Amazing what you can taste from a cigar — cream, buttery, woody, spicy, leathery were just some of the notes I observed. I was overwhelmed.
4.) Staff:
Including the patrons, the staff was very helpful. Chris, a nicely dapper young gentleman was full of knowledge. I felt comfortable there.
5.) Impressions:
A place I think I’ll become a member.

Being relatively new to cigar smoking they’ve help me develop my taste for cigars great people great environment I would recommend to everyone

Great place to stop in and enjoy a cigar. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The members are welcoming to everyone that stops in. The cigar selection has enough variety for every type of cigar smoker out there.

The world’s perfect place for a night out with the guys,
If you can’t find a great smoke, you’re telling me lies.
Come to Mickey Blake’s and just relax your mind,
In a great atmosphere with a staff that is kind.
Thank you to Jason S. for setting up a great UYE and to the staff at Mickey Blake’s for making me feel like family.
The humidor is packed with an overwhelming amount of cigars, but they are very nicely labeled as to any awards they have won and some house favorites are also ranked. The guys are more than happy to help you pick out the perfect cigar, from small and mild to huge and full-​bodied. I’m a wimp when it comes to smokes, so I got a tame cigar.
We had the privilege of getting access to the Members’ Lounge for the night, and what an experience! Comfy leather couches, big screen TVs, poker tables… the works. The members inside seemed to all be really nice guys, and everyone acted like they were best friends. Very welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.
Another perk of Mickey Blake’s is the fact that it is BYOB and right next to a liquor store. You can also BYOF (is that even a term?) Bertucci’s is right next door. Finally, there is an indoor golf simulator that took some getting used to, but by the end of the night I was crankin’ balls 200 yards off the fairway. Golfing in the dead of winter? Darn tootin’!
The public lounge was also very nice. We hung out there for a bit to watch USA take home a bronze in their new BMW bobsled. Will definitely be back.

What a great place. I have been stopping in occasionally since they first opened their doors. One of the best cigar selections I have ever come across and the most helpful staff I have ever encountered anywhere. If you have any questions or are looking for a suggestion ASK! Also nice is they have marked out the top 25 cigars so you can try them all. They have 3 golf simulators and also a members only area. Great place and great people!

Awesome place. Great staff. Great selection. The owner sold me a HTF item I was looking for. Place is filled with personality. Wish I lived closer.

If you are into cigars and golf then this is the place for you. Mickey Blake’s has a nicely stocked humidor that will satisfy any cigar aficionado, indoor golf simulators for golfers, and a smoking lounge for enjoying a nice cigar. No better place around to unwind with a cigar, catch a game on tv or just shoot the breeze with the guys that are hanging out.

Great place, great atmosphere and amazing cigar choices
