West Tampa Tobacco Co. White Robusto (5×50)
$ 73.83
This one is tough, as I believe I would have truly enjoyed it if it were smokeable. The draw was so tight on this stick that I ended up stabbing and stabbing and stabbing with little to no improvement. I eventually tried rolling the tight spots out until the wrapper started to crack. I was left using the band to hold the stick together as I struggled through. Every flavor I experienced while fighting through this one told me I SHOULD love this cigar. So this review is tough for me. It actually ended up giving me a headache from puffing and puffing so hard. I also tried the black label in 5×50 and it was tight at light up, but opened up after the first 3rd. I’m hoping West Tampa sees these reviews, because it seems their 5×50 sticks have some major construction issues related to draw. I will more than likely try another in the future because the flavors fall into my wheelhouse. Hopefully I’ll have better luck then and can update my review then.
