The WEST TAMPA Red - Robusto exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship, encased in a dark chocolate oily wrapper that exudes sophistication. This robusto-sized cigar offers a refined smoking experience with a complex blend, showcasing earthy nuances and exotic dried fruit flavors. Its consistent production and rare draw issues make it a favorite among aficionados, while its rich blend and full-bodied character position it as an ideal candidate for aging, especially in the Cabinet format.

The Robusto size of the WEST TAMPA Red is meticulously designed, measuring around 5 inches (127mm) in length with a moderate ring gauge. This size provides a balanced and satisfying smoking experience, allowing aficionados to enjoy the rich flavor profile in a well-paced manner.

The cigar presents a spicy and earthy aura, leaving a distinct salty taste on the lips, preparing the palate for an enticing experience. Upon ignition, expect dominant yet balanced earthy and spicy notes. As the smoke progresses, it evolves into a richer and more complex profile, unveiling layers of earthiness and spice with a subtle hint of black honey in the second third.

The finale is exquisite, with the full earthiness harmonizing with Cuban cedar notes, culminating in a robust dark pepper taste. While seasoned aficionados find it immensely rewarding, the powerful final notes may be a touch overwhelming for beginners, ensuring a bold and memorable conclusion.
