April 7, 2025 By Matthew Tabacco

Espinosa has announced the release of the Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special 2025, the latest installment in the critically acclaimed limited edition cigar series with celebrity chef Guy Fieri.

Entering its fourth year, the Chef Special 2025 showcases a new direction in the Knuckle Sandwich lineup, featuring a rich Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. Packaged in ten-count boxes, the Chef Special 2025 is limited in production to 2,000 boxes and continues the brand’s commitment to excellence and innovation. The Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special 2025 is priced at $16.00 per cigar, or $160.00 per box, and will be available at select premium retailers nationwide.

“This is one of Guy’s favorite lines,” said Erik Espinosa, President of Espinosa Premium Cigars, “we always make sure the Chef Special lives up to its name and the 2025 is no exception.”

“The first couple of years, we kept things very approachable,” added Hector Alfonso Sr., Espinosa’s Master Blender. “But with last year’s Broadleaf and now this Brazilian Mata Fina, we’re turning up the flavor. This year’s blend has a richness we know our fans will love.”

The Knuckle Sandwich Chef Special 2025 was blended by Espinosa Cigars and made at the San Lotano Factory, in Ocotal, Nicaragua and will be available at PCA 2025 this weekend in New Orleans.
