House Rules

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 · Last Updated: April 28, 2026

The Continental is a place set apart — a room intended for the unhurried hour, the considered conversation, and the company of those who share an appreciation for quiet refinement. These rules exist not to constrain, but to preserve the standard of hospitality that makes the House what it is.

1. Age & Eligibility

Members and guests must be at least 21 years of age. Valid government-issued identification may be requested at any time. Minors are not permitted on the premises.

2. Member Conduct & Decorum

Members and their guests are expected to conduct themselves with the courtesy and discretion the House is known for. The following conduct is grounds for immediate removal and possible suspension or revocation of membership:

Disorderly, intoxicated, or abusive behavior
Harassment or disrespectful treatment of any member, guest, or member of staff
Discriminatory remarks or conduct
Disclosure of other members' identities, conversations, or business outside the House
Damage to House property or furnishings

3. Dress Code

Smart casual or better at all times. The House asks that members and guests:

Wear collared shirts, dress shirts, or appropriate blouses
Avoid athletic wear, gym shoes, beachwear, and visibly torn clothing
Remove hats in the dining room

Smoker's jackets are provided for Platinum Prestige members. Special events may carry their own dress code, communicated in advance.

4. Guest Policy

Members may bring guests according to their tier:

Silver Heritage: One guest per month
Aureate Elite: Two guests per month
Platinum Prestige: Four guests per month

Additional guests beyond the included allotment may be brought for a per-guest premium fee. Members are responsible for the conduct and conformance of their guests at all times.

5. Reservations & Cancellations

Reservations for private dining, the parlor, or special events may be made through concierge or the website. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the reservation may be subject to a fee. Repeated no-shows may result in suspension of reservation privileges.

6. Cigars & Tobacco

Members are encouraged to enjoy cigars from the House humidor. Outside cigars and tobacco products are not permitted on the premises, with the exception of items pre-approved by the House Tobacconist. Vaping and electronic smoking devices are not permitted in any common area.

7. Beverages

The Club maintains a curated selection of fine spirits, wines, and craft beverages. Outside alcohol is not permitted. Intoxication is grounds for refusal of further service and removal from the premises.

8. Photography, Mobile Devices & Quiet Enjoyment

The Continental is a private setting. Photography and video of other members is not permitted without their express consent. Posting images of the interior, members, or guests to social media without consent is a serious breach.

Mobile phones should be silenced. Phone calls should be taken in the foyer or outdoors. Loud conversation, music played without permission, and other disruptions to the quiet enjoyment of fellow members are not permitted.

9. Lockers & Personal Property

Members with assigned lockers are responsible for the secure storage of their cigars and personal items. The Club is not liable for loss, theft, or damage to personal property. Lockers are non-transferable and remain the property of the Club.

10. Children

The Continental is an adults-only establishment. Children are not permitted on the premises at any time, including for special events.

11. Compliance with Laws

Members and guests must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws while on the premises, including those governing the consumption of tobacco and alcohol. Illegal substances of any kind are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate removal and termination of membership.

12. Damages & Liability

Members are financially responsible for any damage caused to the House, its furnishings, or its property by themselves or their guests. The Club may bill the member's account for the cost of repair or replacement.

13. Suspension & Termination

The Club reserves the right to suspend or terminate any membership for violation of these House Rules, the Terms of Use, or for any conduct that, in the sole judgment of management, is incompatible with the standards of the House. Annual dues are non-refundable upon termination for cause.

14. Amendments

These House Rules may be amended from time to time by the management of The Continental Cigar Club. Material changes will be communicated to members in advance.
