Knuckle Sandwich is Espinosa Premium Cigars' collaboration with celebrity chef and restaurateur Guy Fieri, developed with Erik Espinosa over roughly 18 months and launched in February 2022 with two blends — a Habano and a Maduro. The Habano is the natural-wrapped half of that one-two punch, shipped in red boxes, and became the line's breakout release, landing on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 of 2022. Like the rest of the Knuckle Sandwich range, it is hand-rolled at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.
An Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and all-Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos. Offered as the Robusto J at 5 x 52 — the letters following each vitola name are nods to significant people in Guy Fieri's life — rolled round rather than pressed. Hand-rolled at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. Box count: 20 cigars.
A medium-full profile led by pepper and cedar, with roasted nuts, earth and a brown-sugar sweetness carried on a creamy texture. Reviewers of the Robusto also note leather and cinnamon early on, with the spice settling into a smooth, woody core.
Black coffee or espresso plays to the cigar's nuttiness, while an aged rum or a dark, toasted stout stands up to the pepper and leather.
