Espinosa Cigars Knuckle Sandwich (by Michael Symon)

The flagship Habano release developed in a blockbuster collaboration with celebrity chef Guy Fieri, Knuckle Sandwich is rolled at La Zona in Estelí. Wrapped in a rich Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over vintage Nicaraguan long-fillers, this culinary-inspired powerhouse yields a full-bodied smoke loaded with cracked black pepper, baking spices, citrus zest, earth, and hickory.

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Robusto J Connecticut

Kaplowitz · Aug 22, 2025

Cashew/Peanut | Wasabi | Creme Brulee Burns a bit quick, is the lone knock I got. Maybe I'm just smoking it greedily. Cashew/peanut 50/50 butter. Butter. The remaining italicized pair from above. A hint of salty oak which is felt more than tasted. Tannic, titanic (sans sinking connotation) White grapes. White pepper. Orange zest. This is in my proverbial wheelhouse. A lovely stroll through Flavortown, if that's a coastal town with no shortage of curio shops.

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano Corona Gorda R

Cigar Aficionado · Jan 1, 2023

There was a lot of hype surrounding the Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich line in 2022. Part of it had to do with television personality Guy Fieri, who’s closely involved with the brand. One can’t mention one without the other. But if you forget about Fieri for a moment, what we have is a spectacular smoke from Erik Espinosa on its own. Knuckle Sandwich is made at A.J. Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Nicaragua and big flavors seem to be the theme here. The Corona Gorda produces a dense, ample smoke full of pistachio, almond and orange peel notes. Spicy accents of red and black pepper—and a big snap of leather—lead to a smoked hickory finish.

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano Toro H

Cigar Coop · Oct 30, 2022

Celebrity-branded cigars are nothing new, but as 2022 opened up Espinosa Cigars would announce it was releasing a cigar done in conjunction with restauranteur, Guy Fieri. The announcement of Knuckle Sandwich would set off a lot of energy in the cigar business. While celebrities have branded cigars before, one can argue that Fieri has […] Key flavors: Natural Tobacco, Herbal Notes, Citrus, Cedar, Earth, Nut, Pepper.

Super smooth draw, hosting mixed nuts, earth, spice, and a floating sugary sweetness. Spice nestles into the finish with light coffee. Cashew butter and earth on the retrohale. Quite a pleasant start.Plenty of smoke on the exhale, and it pours from the foot.The wrapper develops a crack about an inch from the burn line. The culprits app

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano Corona Gorda R

Developing Palates · Jun 13, 2022 · February 2022

This Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano Corona Gorda R is the exact wheelhouse of Espinosa that I like. Deep flavors creating a rich, sweet and spicy experience. Typically, when a product is backed by a celebrity, it's a bunch of bullshit. But not this one. If you're a fan of the typical Espinosa offerings, you will not be disappointed in this one.
