Description

A collaboration between Erik Espinosa and celebrity chef Guy Fieri, the Knuckle Sandwich earned its name — and Cigar Aficionado's #1 Cigar of 2023 — by delivering a powerful right hook of leather, black pepper, and earth that transitions into refined coffee and dark chocolate. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper provides an oily, well-constructed canvas for this surprisingly complex full-bodied blend.
