Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special Returns for A Limited Edition Run
The Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special, a limited edition that debuted last year, is coming back for a second helping this year but with a new blend.
The cigar is a 6 1/2 x 52 box-pressed figurado that uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler. It is produced at the San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua, with 1,500 boxes of 10 cigars produced. Pricing is set at $15 per cigar and $150 per box.
“This is the first LE we did for Knuckle Sandwich Cigars a year ago,” said Erik Espinosa of Espinosa Premium Cigars in a press release. “It went very well, both the size and the blend really hit. So, we are back this year with a new blend in that same great size, it’s an exceptional smoke.” Espinosa Premium Cigars developed the Knuckle Sandwich line in collaboration with celebrity chef and restaurateur Guy Fieri.
The debut of the Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special used an Ecuadorian habano rosado wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler. There were 2,500 boxes of 10 cigars produced for that release.
The cigars will be on display at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which runs from July 8-11 in Las Vegas, Nev. They are slated to begin shipping to retailers in late July.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
