Hunters & Frankau And Ettinger Cigar Wrap
Cigar Aficionado
|March/April 2025
Cigars can be carried in many ways. You can put them in a plastic bag, but where's the style in that? Travel humidors can be gorgeous, but for everyday use they can be bulky. Cigar cases are good, if limited in payload. For a new way to carry around five or so smokes, cigar experts Hunters & Frankau and the leather craftsmen of Ettinger have combined to create a luxurious cigar-toting device they call a cigar wrap.

Both British companies have long, storied histories. Ettinger, dating to 1934, is one of a few companies that still crafts its leather products in the United Kingdom. Hunters & Frankau, founded in 1790, is the exclusive U.K. distributor of Havana cigars. Both are family-owned and -operated businesses, Hunters & Frankau by the Freeman family, Ettinger by the family of the company name.

Drive A Tank
At more than 3,000 pounds, a Chevy Malibu is a formidable vehicle with a crash-safety test rating of five-stars. But against a 60-ton Chieftain tank, it’s a mere speed bump. That is, if speed bumps came with the sound of crunched steel and shattered glass. Driving a tank that’s the weight of 20 Cadillac Escalades over a junked auto is the “Crush a Car” option of Drive A Tank, the Minnesota facility that offers customers maximal military sensations you’d otherwise have to enlist to experience.
