West Tampa Tobacco Co.

West Tampa Tobacco Company is Rick Rodriguez's cigar project, informed by the craft of his grandparents, who moved from Cuba to West Tampa in the 1950s. The company's own story emphasizes handmade cigars and the area's cigar-making heritage. Cigario currently lists West Tampa Red. Red identifies a particular line, so its tobacco composition and dimensions should be checked for that product instead of being treated as properties of every West Tampa cigar. The brand story supplies context but does not replace a blend specification.

Company story

Rick Rodriguez connects the brand to his grandparents' experience and West Tampa's cigar-making history.

The Red line

West Tampa Red is a particular catalog line. Its blend details belong to the product, not to the general company description.
