  Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Chef's Special

  Just like restaurants that offer “Chef’s Specials,” the Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special line is a collection of limited edition cigars that are crafted by Espinosa Cigars in collaboration with celebrity chef Guy Fieri.

Each release is composed of different blends and promises to take you straight to “Flavortown.” The cigars are handmade at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano Factory in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Shape
  Toro

  The standard Toro shape is 6 inches by 50 ring gauge.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
• Cigar Length
  6"

  This cigar is 6 inches long, or 152.4 mm.
• Origin
  Nicaragua

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
• Cigar Ring Gauge
  55

  The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 55, so his diameter is 55/64 inches or 21.84 mm.

• Cigar Manufacturer
  AJ Fernandez

  Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.
• Cigar Binder
  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
