One of my new favorites for sure. This was my first time trying a West Tampa one, and of course the red one was the choice, no regrets, to me, for that price it´s a five stars cigar.

Continue to be impressed with the offerings from West Tampa. The white and black labels were great smokes and the red label is right up therewith them. Starts off very mild and progresses through tart natural tobacco into a complex mix of coffee, wood and dark chocolate. Would not be surprised to see a cigar like this sell in the $14-15 range. At $10 it’s a bargain. Smoking time was about 75 minutes.

This cigar is solid and simple. It’s something I take on the course with me where I’m not super upset if I can’t focus on the full smoking experience. It’s a favorite of mine for those types of situations.

This is my first cigar from West Tampa. I found this to be pretty tasty. I’m getting notes of cocoa, cedar and coffee. Flavors are solid. There is an inherent mustiness to this but nothing off putting. This little gem gave me about 1hr and 20 minutes from the robusto. I’m interested in trying some of their other blends as this was very pleasing. As always Oxford has the best prices on these.

WTT is solid, I’ve tried the initial 3 blends, White, Black & Red. The sungrown offers great complexity with spice and cedar notes at the base. The Red additionally carries hints of flora and a light sweet ginger. Nice blend overall

West Tampa Tobacco is 4 for 4 in all of their smokes I’ve tried. This stick offers a wonderful spice throughout, with creamy notes tied in. If you enjoyed their Attic series, this one is definitely worth a try.

Spicy and savory in one puff. Extremely complex smoke with nougat and cafe au late on the long finish. Worth a box purchase!

So far west Tampa tobacco hasn’t been a huge hit for me. The white and black didn’t hit my palate very well and the construction was meh. They did seem to turn it around with this release. Construction was a lot better, and the flavors kept me interested throughout the whole cigar. I got predominantly earth and spicy dark chocolate with a slight of pepper burn on the retrohale.

I prefer this over the white and black, which are decent in their own right. This has more complexity. Earth, leather, dark chocolate, and plenty of spice. Very nice construction, perfect draw and burn. I’d still say the Attic series is their trump card, but I’ll be smoking this again.
