West Tampa Tobacco Co. Chef Rick Cigar
The West Tampa Tobacco Co. Chef Rick Cigar is a distinctive premium handmade cigar created by master blender Rick Rodriguez, the man behind West Tampa Tobacco Co. Drawing on his extensive experience in the cigar industry, Chef Rick showcases Rodriguez's passion for blending and his ability to combine carefully selected tobaccos into a rich, complex and beautifully balanced smoking experience.
Named after Rodriguez's reputation as a master of tobacco blending, the Chef Rick cigar reflects the creativity and precision involved in developing a premium cigar. Much like a chef carefully combines ingredients to create a memorable dish, Rodriguez brings together different tobacco characteristics to achieve depth, balance and complexity.
Wrapped in a beautifully dark, rich brown leaf, the Chef Rick delivers an inviting combination of earthy tobacco, roasted coffee, dark chocolate and warming spice. The opening draws introduce a bold, satisfying character, with notes of espresso and black pepper complemented by a subtle natural sweetness.
As the cigar develops, the flavour profile becomes increasingly complex, revealing hints of toasted nuts, cedar and leather. The darker chocolate characteristics remain prominent, while a smooth, creamy undertone helps balance the richer, more robust flavours.
Towards the final third, the Chef Rick develops deeper earthy notes, with lingering spice, roasted coffee and a touch of sweetness providing a satisfying finish.
Presented in attractive wooden boxes featuring West Tampa's distinctive red Chef Rick branding, this cigar is another interesting addition to the growing West Tampa Tobacco Co. portfolio.
