Description
The Knuckle Sandwich Habano Toro, sold by Espinosa as the Toro H, is a 6 x 54 cigar with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler, rolled at A.J. Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Nicaragua.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Coop’s William Cooper reviewed this exact size in October 2022, scoring it 88 with a “Try a Sample” verdict and calling the strength medium. He found natural tobacco and herbal flavors leading throughout, backed by citrus, cedar, earth and nuts, with a red-pepper kick through the nose and more pepper on the palate by the midpoint.
Who It’s For
- Toro smokers who find the line’s 5 x 52 robusto too brief but its 6 x 60 gordo too thick.
- Medium-strength smokers who like pepper and cedar.
- Guy Fieri fans who prefer the Habano side of his partnership with Espinosa in a toro size.

About the Knuckle Sandwich Line
Knuckle Sandwich pairs Erik Espinosa with Guy Fieri, and halfwheel’s launch coverage noted the Habano ships in red boxes with a black ribbon at the foot, the reverse of the Maduro’s colors.
Pairing and Storage
A bourbon or a medium-bodied Rioja fits a medium cigar with this much pepper and cedar; see our cigar pairing guide. Cooper thought the blend worth revisiting after more time in a humidor, and our humidor basics guide shows how to rest singles at home.
