The West Tampa Tobacco Company Black is a full-strength companion to the milder White. It was created by Rick Rodriguez, who spent 25 years as a brand ambassador and blender for a major cigar company. Rick also has deep family roots in the art of crafting cigars that date back to 1950s Cuba. The Black has a dark, savory Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper covering a Nicaraguan Ometepe Habano binder and filler leaves from Esteli and Condega Nicaragua. This specially selected blend offers a bold and immersive smoking experience that will satisfy smokers who are looking for a hearty and flavorful cigar. The cigars are handmade in Nicaragua at the Garmendia Cigar Co. factory.
Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

The West Tampa Tobacco Company White cigar is the creation of Rick Rodriguez, a well-known and greatly admired 25-year veteran of the cigar industry. In 1950s Cuba, Rick’s grandparents were involved in the cigar making business and migrated to Tampa, Florida where they established themselves and their craft. They passed their knowledge and love of tobacco to Rick. The White is a medium-bodied premium that features a smooth pink-hued Habano wrapper covering an Ecuadorian Habano binder and a Nicaraguan filler from Pueblo Nuevo, Ometepe, and Jalapa. With its rich creamy profile, the cigar will appeal to the contemporary as well as the traditional smoker. The cigars are handmade in Nicaragua at the Garmendia Cigar Co. factory.
