Chazz Palminteri's A Bronx Tale

These are words to live by for Chazz Palminteri, who not only wrote and starred in the original A Bronx Tale play of the early '90s, but went on to do the screenplay and star in the 1993 film of the same name!

But Chazz and his mafioso crime drama have more to give, partnering with Paul DiSilvio of the Bronx-based La Casa Grande Tobacco Co. and Dean Parsons of Epic Cigars to create a stunner of a cigar that'll have crime drama / cigar enthusiasts truly "doing what their hearts tell them to do," (alright, alright, enough with the quotes!).

Bringing the cigar to life, Epic Cigars worked with Chazz, Paul, and the boutique-minded Tabacalera Von Eicken factory of the Dominican Republic. The blend begins with a Cuban-seed wrapper from Ecuador, which surrounds a Dominican binder and fillers from both Nicaragua and the DR. Finally, the Epic A Bronx Tale cigar was rolled in a single 6" x 54 box-pressed format dubbed Calogero, which is not only the name of a character in the film, but Palminteri’s own grandfather, who he dedicates the story to. Hobbyists, collectors, and fans alike will no doubt want to indulge in this special smoking experience, offering a medium-full intensity and punchy-yet-classic flavors of cedar, toasted rye bread, touches of cinnamon, and gingersnap cookie through the finish.
