Knuckle Sandwich is Espinosa Premium Cigars' collaboration with celebrity chef and restaurateur Guy Fieri, built around the idea of a cigar to enjoy after a great meal. The Chef Special is the line's annual limited edition, with each year's installment reblended from scratch the way a restaurant rotates its specials. The 2026 release is the fifth Chef Special, announced for the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show and shipped to retailers on June 16, 2026, set apart by a rarely used Mexican Claro wrapper and purple packaging.
A lighter-hued Mexican Claro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos — a departure from the Brazilian Mata Fina and Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrappers used on earlier Chef Special editions. Built as a 6 x 54 Toro finished with a distinctive oval press. Hand-rolled at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. Box count: 10 cigars.
Notes of earth, toasted cedar, and black pepper over a creamy underlying sweetness, with the Mexican Claro wrapper adding an extra layer of texture and balance. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers depth and complexity while staying smooth and balanced, offering bold flavor without overwhelming the palate.
Alcoholic: a cask-strength bourbon, an aged rum, or a stout. Non-Alcoholic: a strong espresso.
A satisfying smoke. Allow ~45–75 minutes.
