West Tampa Red Gigantes

Much like its two predecessor ranges, White & Black, the Red range is also a flavour explosion, albeit one that leans towards the full-bodied end of the spectrum. The Red range thus complements West Tampa’s portfolio, offering the perfect cigar for every aficionado, from milder to full-bodied varieties.

A full-bodied cigar

Rick Rodriguez, Master Blender and co-owner, is particularly delighted with the launch. ‘The West Tampa Red gave me the opportunity to sit down with the factory and focus on creating a blend that I like. The Red line will reflect what I consider to be the next piece in the West Tampa puzzle: a full-bodied cigar that delivers the rich flavour that West Tampa enthusiasts have come to expect.”

Rick is once again using the well-known and popular Mexican San Andreas wrapper, which he previously used for the first edition of the Attic series.

Connoisseurs can expect notes of coffee, earth and wood, as well as a fruity sweetness. As the cigar develops, it becomes creamier, with notes of nut, toast and cocoa emerging.
