West Tampa Tobacco Co. Devil Crab Pack of 5

The Devil Crab cigar is a limited-production release from West Tampa Tobacco Co., inspired by a traditional Tampa dish of the same name. The dish, a spicy croquette made from sautéed blue crab and chilau sauce, became popular in the 1920s during a cigar factory strike in Ybor City. It was affordable, flavorful, and deeply rooted in the local immigrant culture. The cigar pays tribute to that history, both in name and presentation. Each box even includes a recipe card for making devil crab at home. The blend itself is a closely guarded secret—no details on the wrapper, binder, or filler have been disclosed. However, it’s handcrafted at Garmendia Cigars Co., the same factory behind West Tampa’s core lines. Though the blend is undisclosed, the cigar is described as rich and flavorful, likely offering a bold, spicy profile to match its culinary inspiration.
