The Chupacabra line, which is among their best-selling models of the Esteban Carreras cigars, recently welcomed the Chupacabra Hellcat. The magnificent Mexican San Andres wrapper of the Esteban Carreras Chupacabra Hellcat is paired with the same binder and inner filler tobaccos as the original Chupacabra. Additionally, the Hellcat is built with a pigtail head and an unfinished foot. What sets the Hellcat apart is that it is box-pressed and has foot bands and wax paper covering it to preserve its exquisite wrap. 

Strength and stealth. An enigma to unravel. How could something so subtle be born of such raw power? A robust puro from Nicaragua encased in the oily, unfermented Habano Oscuro leaf. A whole body that is somehow shrouded in creaminess. Its clawed foot and coiled tail honor its namesake, the Chupa Cabra. preserve its exquisite wrap. 

This stick is a Nicaraguan puro made with a rich, exquisite corojo wrapper and a variety of aged filler tobaccos from some of the best growing regions in that part of the world. As a result, this blend provides a rich, medium-bodied smoking experience that should improve with age and further refine in flavor with time. This is the first cigar that Esteban Carreras has made with a corojo wrapper, and apparently the varietal used in this blend was smuggled out of Cuba in the 1990s. Hence the original name of this cigar being Taken From the Devil's Hand and the recently revised title being Taken From the Dictator's Hand.

In order to create a new Macanudo line that featured tobacco aged in French oak barrels that previously held a single vineyard cabernet sauvignon, General Cigar Co. collaborated with Flint Knoll, a small winery in Napa, California.

While the wrapper is an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade varietal with a honey-hued color, this isn't a mild smoke by any means, for the filler tobaccos are dark and potent. Mata Fina from Brazil, Piloto Cubano and Olor from the Dominican Republic, as well as some Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf are all bound inside by a Connecticut Broadleaf binder. It is this leaf that rested inside those French oak barrels from Flint Knoll, resulting in a toasted tannin crispness, and a unique olfactory experience you have to smoke to believe.

The cigar gets its name from the character in Greek mythology who attempted to use wings made out of wax to soar to the heavens, only to have the sun’s heat melt the wings and send him into the Aegean Sea.  Icarus, like tobacco leaves kissed by Tennessee fire, soared too close to the sun. Ambition met flames, a cautionary tale in every ember.

The mix was created in collaboration with Claudio Sgroi and made in Nicaragua by Tabacalera Tambor.

The ADN Dominicano contains a very special kind of Dominican tobacco. Commonly known as andullo (an-doo-yaw), this process takes tobacco and places it inside palm tree pods, at which point it is bound and then pressed until a paste-like pile of leaves comes out months later. Extremely rare, and ultra labor intensive, this unique cigar making style originated in the Dominican Republic, and is known for adding strength, aroma, and sweetness to a well-balanced cigar blend.

In this case, the result is a spicy, woody cigar that melds pleasantly with hints of sweetness that segue into a graham cracker finish. This smoke is one hell of a great burner too, with a flawless draw producing columns of smoke. 

Bold cinnamon and cocoa flavors take center stage in this stick, and lingering notes of wood move their way throughout in the background as the cigar wraps up the flavor profile with a citrusy touch in the 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.

This is the brand's crown gem. Epicure is a real monument to the effort put in, tailored for those who realize that indulgence doesn't have to be a bad thing. It evokes and unites the five senses, creating a famous blend with a creamy flow and a smooth, caramel finish.

Isla del Cocodrilo is a popular nickname given to the island of Cuba because of its crocodile shape.

This is a medium to full-bodied stick with rich notes of cedar and earth and hints of spice and vanilla.
