Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Avant Garde 2026
The Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Avant Garde 2026 is the latest annual limited edition in the acclaimed Knuckle Sandwich series, created through the collaboration between celebrity chef Guy Fieri and Erik Espinosa. Handcrafted in Nicaragua at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano Factory, the 2026 Avant Garde continues the tradition of producing bold, limited-production cigars with exceptional construction and rich complexity.
Produced in limited quantities, the Avant Garde 2026 features a premium Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The result is a full-flavored, medium-to-full-bodied cigar that delivers remarkable balance, evolving complexity, and the signature bold character that has made the Knuckle Sandwich line one of the industry's most sought-after annual releases.
