Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano is one of the great entries from a collaboration between Eric Espinosa and Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri.
All of these cigars come out of A.J. Fernández’s northernmost San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper encases a very special all-Nicaraguan tobaccos throughout the binder/filler. In fact, this blend was 18 months in the making. The results speak for themselves.

Cigar Aficionado rated this great cigar a 93. They feel is a spectacular smoke. They say, “ 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.”
