Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut Toro by Espinosa Cigars

Perhaps the best celebrity cigar on the market, the Knuckle Sandwich by Espinosa cigars, has changed the game in terms of a cigar attached to a ‘big name.’ Released with Guy Fieri, Espinosa launched the Knuckle Sandwich cigar in 2022, and it hit perfectly! Offered in two different wrappers, Habano and Maduro, the duo was very indicative of Espinosa Cigars’ profile; heavy-hitting, full flavored, and primarily made from Nicaraguan tobaccos. The launch was far from the typical celebrity cigars where it doesn’t taste like much, but it had his name on it. These are cigars made by smokers for smokers. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the original blends, a third cigar was added to the line, the Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut.

Erik Espinosa stated the following at the launch: “Guy’s a cigar guy, loves to smoke, and is super excited about this project. We are very excited with the level of enthusiasm Guy has brought to this project, and we are both looking forward to getting out there and promoting this brand. In the last year, Guy has shown his enthusiasm and commitment to our industry and the Knuckle Sandwich line. He is excited about adding a Connecticut offering to the Knuckle Sandwich brand and providing yet another smoking option to its fans.”

The blend uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan Binder and fillers. Rolled at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory, the Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut is released in three sizes; a Robusto, Short Churchill, and Toro. This Connecticut sets itself apart from many others, offering a fuller smoke than the typical mild blends. It fits well with the Habano and Maduro and stays true to Espinoa’s blending style.
