[I have had a chance to speak about West Tampa a lot recently. This means I've also given the brand and its portfolio no small amount of thought. While this Black is my third favorite of the current three, it also feels to have the most likelihood of smoking fabulously with a tick more age on it. I believe I'm correct but I do miss that roasted orange note.]
I originally reviewed this blend HERE.
