When Penny & Jay Robertson and Michelle & Bill Strong set off to create a cigar lounge they wanted to hang out at, they found themselves in the belly of 10,000 square feet of awesome at Intervale Crossing in Bartlett, NH.
The beautiful beast is owned by Stan and Mary Ellen Szetela.
Penny (Piva) Robertson
Creator, founder, maker-upper of rules, brand manager, designer, event manager, bartender, hostess, humidor manager, dog-wrangler of both Cigar Shenanigans locations, as well as the online mercantile www.badasspenny.com. Former university writing instructor and PR exec. Got a Pastry Arts degree because cupcakes rule the world. (Visit Mystic Sugar Bakery in North Conway, NH for the world's best cupcakes!)
Jay Robertson
Marine, proudest member of the fightin’ Texas A&M University Class of 2007, former Texas Master Police Officer, selected to the 1995 South African World Cup Rugby team, former high school teacher. Aviator wannabe to fly the unfriendly skies to balance the universal karma. Lover of snow & Freedom.
William (Bill) Strong
Self-made Jack-of-All-Trades. Seriously. When we ask if he knows how to do something (hang wallpaper, trick out a bus into a mobile cigar lounge, or something really odd) he figures it out. Spent the past 21 years as a police officer, most recently as the Department Prosecutor. He also spent over half a decade as an arborist.
Michelle Strong
The one person who keeps us all from losing our minds, through super-smartness, subtle hilarity, and awesomely great ideas. Amazing designer and internet sleuth. Michelle spent the past 2 decades as a homeschooling 2 kids, raising 2 nieces and a nephew, and caring for her grandchildren. Oh! And running a short-term rental business--all while keeping her home ready for guests at a moments notice.
Michelle is the Conductor that will keep this freight train running on schedule.
