Streaking out of a sandstorm might seem like on odd setting for a bespoke British SUV. Consider, though, that Bentley likely plans to sell a ton of these things in the Middle East and the force-of-nature unveiling seems rather relevant.

Digital Trends has been reporting on rumors of a Bentley SUV for a while now. Finally, the next best English 4×4 has been confirmed. From what we’ve heard so far, the Bentley SUV could be a diesel or it could even be a hybrid. Both powertrains would make sense, as Bentley’s parent company, Volkswagen AG, is rather keen on both.

Although we can’t see much, we know two things: 1.) The forthcoming and yet-unnamed Bentley SUV will look pretty much like you imagine. 2.) It’ll be a big, bossy, heft of a thing that will float like its weightless and hammer up hills like it’s powered by dark energy.

Bentley plans to sell 3000 of its new SUVs each year. Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive at Bentley Motors, commenting at a press conference in London, said of the SUV, “It will create a completely new segment in the SUV market.”

When will the full meal deal be unveiled? We’re not sure. We’re hoping for the 2014 New York Auto Show. We’ll be on the ground in New York next month and reporting live. Should something come to light before then, we’ll be sure to bring it to you. So check back often.

Just what is a tupperdor anyway? Understanding the affordable humidor alternative
How to save money while storing your cigars at the appropriate humidity in a tupperdor.
Cigar shop humidor with lots of brands.

Spend any amount of time around cigar enthusiasts, and you'll quickly learn if you want to start your own collection, big or small, you need a humidor. That's because cigars need to be stored at the appropriate relative humidity (RH) and temperature levels. Otherwise, the cigar will dry out and the natural oils that contribute a lot of the flavor while you're smoking will effectively be gone. You can always rehydrate a cigar to smoke it, but even so, those natural oils once lost will never return, which means it will never taste the way it should -- you won't have an authentic experience. To make a long story short, you need to care for and store cigars appropriately if you're going to keep them for an extended period of time. Of course, none of this explains just what is a tupperdor?

Bear with me, I'm getting there. The point you need to understand is that cigars must be stored under the right conditions and to do that you prep and maintain a humidor. Inside the humidor, you use either -- or similar gel packs -- or something like a to maintain the proper humidity.
