Rick Rodriguez was the longtime master blender and ambassador for CAO under General Cigar, then co-founded West Tampa Tobacco Co. with family to build an independent boutique. Tampa rolling heritage and a bold Nicaraguan-forward style define the West Tampa chapter, separate from STG corporate floors even though CAO history remains part of his map story.
