Last year, Guy Fieri celebrated his 55th birthday with a special cigar. This year, there will also be a limited edition cigar to celebrate his 56th birthday.

The Knuckle Sandwich 56 is a 6 x 56 toro oval that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. For context, the Knuckle Sandwich 55 was a 5 1/2 x 55 robusto extra that also used an oval shape. Like the other Knuckle Sandwich cigars, the 56 is made at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.

Each cigar will have an MSRP of $16 and is limited to 1,500 boxes of 10 cigars.

Knuckle Sandwich is a partnership between Fieri, the celebrity chef, and Espinosa Premium Cigars.

“Last year, we wanted to do something special for Guy’s birthday, so we produced this blend and made only 555 boxes as a token for Guy,” said Erik Espinosa in a press release. “We had no idea the impact this cigar was going to have. It immediately sold out, becoming one of our most coveted unicorn cigars ever, with customers still asking for it to this day. We always want to keep our customers happy, so we decided to continue the tradition.“

Espinosa Premium Cigars says that the Knuckle Sandwich 56 is shipping today.
