Brings Two New Releases to PCA Show"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">West Tampa Tobacco Company arrived at the 2026 PCA Show in New Orleans with two new cigars. Both releases lean into what the brand does best: translating the soul of West Tampa, Florida, into a smoking experience that feels personal, place-specific, and worth savoring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chef Rick is the latest entry in the brand&#8217;s food-inspired series, joining the already beloved Boliche Blvd. and Devil Crab. The name alone conjures the aromas and characters that have long defined West Tampa&#8217;s culinary identity. A limited-edition Toro at 6 x 52, it ships in 50-count boxes with an MSRP of $12.99 per cigar. The blend is undisclosed\u2014in keeping with the series&#8216; philosophy that the cigar should speak for itself. After all, what self-respecting chef would disclose the secret recipes to his masterpieces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second release, Barbershop, draws inspiration from another cornerstone of West Tampa community life: the neighborhood barbershop, where conversations run as long as the wait and everyone leaves looking sharper. The line is box-pressed and comes in three sizes with names such as: Straight Razor (5 x 52, $10.99), the Clippers (6 x 54, $11.99), and the Barber Chair (6.5 x 64, $13.99). Each is packaged in 20-count boxes, with the blend similarly kept under wraps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Tampa Tobacco Company arrived at the 2026 PCA Show in New Orleans with two new cigars.
