We have Rick Rodriguez back in the garage with his new company, West Tampa Tobacco, and we are smoking both of his first releases yet focusing on the White. It's been awhile since we caught up with Rick so we are excited to learn about the company and whats to come. We are cracking open a newer bottle called Big House Bourbon 120 and know very little about the bottle so this could be interesting!
