After departing CAO Cigars and forming his own West Tampa Tobacco Company in 2022, Rick Rodriguez was quick to introduce a pair of Habano cigars as his first releases out on his own, dubbed West Tampa Tobacco White and West Tampa Tobacco Black.

These fan-favorite smokes are now joined by the West Tampa Tobacco Red cigar, which is the first non-Habano in the company's core lineup. Instead, the West Tampa Tobacco Red cigar boasts a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper over a blend of Nicaraguan binder/fillers, amounting to the fullest-bodied smoke in the West Tampa lineup to date!

What does the West Tampa Tobacco Red cigar taste like?

Like former cigars from West Tampa, the Red cigar is balanced and flavorful. Using hearty leaves from Nicaragua, the cigar jumps to the front as West Tampa's most intense smoking experience, lighting up with fiery maduro flavors of campfire, hickory, zesty spice, and cinnamon sweetness through the finish.
