Hunters & Frankau Releases with Ettinger a Cigar Wrap

Hunters & Frankau and Ettinger have created a distinctive and innovative cigar wrap. This wrap brings form and modernity, as well as functionality, to the question of how best to carry and maintain Havana cigars. 

The collaboration was over a year in the making and has been developed through a series of stages and close conversations between the two companies, with the addition of extensive use testing. Each cigar wrap is crafted by hand at the Ettinger factory in Birmingham, England. 

Hunters & Frankau was founded in 1790 and is the exclusive distributor of Havana cigars in the United Kingdom. The company has been deeply rooted in the cigar industry for well over 200 years and remains committed to providing only the finest quality products to Britain. 

Ettinger was founded by Gerry Ettinger in 1934. Today the company remains family-owned and run by Robert Ettinger. They are one of the few remaining British luxury leather goods companies still manufacturing in the UK. In 1996, in recognition of the work carried out for the Royal Household, Ettinger was appointed a Royal Warrant to HRH the Prince of Wales and this year received a Royal Warrant of Appointment to HM The King in the first of his reign. 

The wrap is crafted from fine Maldives leather, made with top-quality italian calf sides, which have been chrome tanned, dyed through and then drum rolled to give the leather a buttery soft touch.

It comes in navy and green colourways and features Ettinger’s signature London Tan leather interior. The cigar wrap holds five substantial Havana cigars and includes a vented pouch for cigar accessories, a slot for a humidification pouch and a space for an AirTag, so the owner will always have the comfort of knowing precisely where their cigars are.
