Tasting Notes:

A strikingly strong, but ultra smooth smoke with distinct earth, leather, spice, and black pepper overtones. Its Nicaraguan Corojo binder and Criollo '98 tobacco filler are encased in a heavily fermented Colorado-colored Habano Oscuro wrapper. Renowned cigar maker AJ Fernandez helped create this blend for Artesano del Tobacco, and it is handcrafted 100% as a Nicaraguan puro.  

Tasting Notes:

This cigar truly distinguishes itself. From its unique blend of flavors like anise, earth, and graham cracker, the Futuro lives up to its namesake. This is the cigar of the future.

Isla del Cocodrilo is a popular nickname given to the island of Cuba because of its crocodile shape. Kyle Gellis – founder of Warped – was inspired by this fact to produce his latest gem: An all-Nicaraguan filled cigar that is covered by a double binder of Ecuadorian Habano 2000 and Brazilian Arapiraca descent, and then clad in an Ecuadorian Habano Deflorada wrapper. This is a medium to full-bodied stick with rich notes of cedar and earth and hints of spice and vanilla.

Tasting Notes:

This excellent top-rated cigar was released to celebrate the founder's 30th birthday. The entire cigar is comprised of Nicaraguan tobacco and packed with full-bodied flavor and strength. You will experience an array of spice and earth tones with a noticeably creamy smoke. The founder, Kyle Gellis, has knocked it out of the park with this one.

Weltschmerz is the German word for "a feeling of melancholy and world-weariness." This cigar is meant for the darkest moments of life. The sensation of Weltschmerz is best described as being "back in the rolling hills of home." The brand uses fillers from Estelí and Jalapa areas of Nicaragua, a binder from Jalapa too, and an Ecuadorian habano oscuro wrapper. The mix was created in collaboration with Claudio Sgroi and made in Nicaragua by Tabacalera Tambor.

The scents are diverse, the cigar feels calming and dark. You can feel hints of chocolate, raisins, candied orange, green grass, sandy soil, hazelnuts, vanilla, blueberry, cracked coconut, mineral raw oak, and toasted walnuts. 

West Tampa Tobacco offers a premium cigar that is called the Black Toro. This handmade cigar is renowned for its robust flavor profile and large Toro shape.

The box and the band ask to be picked up. Its amazing flavor comes from the Dark Habano wrapper. Perfectly matured, West Tampa Black has plenty of taste and depth. This cigar, filled with famous Esteli Ligero and Condega Viso, has a body that will appeal to both beginners and experienced smokers.

Ernesto Carrillo and Rick Rodriguez, two exceptional cigar blenders, worked together to create this unique mix: the West Tampa Circle of Life cigar.

The blend consists of an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, and a filler made of tobacco from the Jalapa, Condega, and Estelí regions of Nicaragua along with some Dominican Corojo 99.

Rodriguez, who was trained by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo during his time at General Cigar Co., has often cited him as one of his key mentors and teachers. This collaboration is a way to connect with his roots and lay another brick for the future of the brand.

Main notes: Vanilla, baking spice, cedar, cashew, and finishing off with some roasted coffee.

A century ago, the Cuban cigar communities in Ybor City invented a spicy crab croquette that is still famous today, and this potent perfecto cigar gets its name from that dish. Like the dish it mirrors, this cigar is short, stout, and stuffed with all sorts of special ingredients. 

It's highly likely that West Tampa's master blender, "Chef" Rick Rodriguez, has left the origin of the wrapper, binder, and filler of this devilish treat a secret for a reason. For this is the guy who says that judging a cigar by its tobacco strains will never get you anywhere. So dive in, and take this one for what it is. And that is a rich, dark treat for those looking for loads of flavor and a medium-full smoking session.

West Tampa Red is the company’s third and strongest release. A bold core of chocolate may be at its core, but so too are layers of hickory, nutmeg, leather and a mocha finish. All together, this makes for a fantastic addition to the West Tampa lineup, and one that took home a "Top 25" award from Cigar Aficionado in 2023.

Composed of an aged tobacco core from Nicaragua with a Mexican San Andres wrapper, the West Tampa Red is a manifestation of founder and master blender Rick Rodriguez's idea about what the appearance, texture, aroma, and flavor of a robust, rich cigar should be.

West Tampa White offers a streamlined appearance that is backed by a Rick Rodriguez guarantee. You will be astounded by what can only be called a work of art when you break the seal and open the box!

Huge and striking, you can feel notes of spice, earth and vanilla. Its pink-hued Habano wrapper covers an Ecuadorian Habano binder and a Nicaraguan filler from Pueblo Nuevo, Ometepe, and Jalapa. Handmade in Nicaragua at the Garmendia Cigar Co. factory, the West Tampa Tobacco Company White Robusto provides a flavourful, medium-strength smoking indulgence that will satisfy your palate.
