The passionate project of Palminteri has since known a new life as a musical, a book and, more recently, inspiration for a new line of cigars.
“I am not a big cigar smoker, but I wanted to help with this idea,” said Paltinteri about the cigar line. “The product is really dedicated to my grandfather Calogero, and to all the immigrants who came to this country at the time. The Italians, the Jews, the Greeks, the Irish and so on to make a better life for children. I knew Pauly and his father when I grew up here and I felt good to offer my support. ”
Pauly Disalvo, the owner of Casa Grande Cigars on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, developed the idea of launching a line of cigars in collaboration with the film. As his grandfather was friends close to Chazz, he was able to collaborate with the actor / writer himself to make the idea a reality.
“Seven years ago, I approached (Chazz) with this idea of creating a line of cigars, and it was everything for that. We went to Epic Cigars, a distributor, and they put the line to another level in the world and we could not be happier, “said Pauly.
The Casa Grande manufactures the mixture for cigar and Epic manufactures the product.
Pauly also seeks to create another special cigar line with Martin Kove of the film “Coba Kai” with the provisional title “No Mercy”.

A recent event on Arthur Avenue to celebrate the launch of the Bronx Tale Cigar offered a taste of the “old”. Attracted women and men dressed as if they were ready for roles on foot in the sopranos, all swollen on bronx tale cigars.
The event was filled with fans and celebrities, including Katherine Narducci (The Sopranos, A Bronx Tale) and Sophia Milos (The Sopranos).
Martin Kove was also on site. “I was in Louisville by turning a film and I was heading for New York. Pauly, who is one of my friends, knew that I came to New York and invited me with my sons. I love New York, I’m from Brooklyn. And when I come here, I also like to take a theater. It’s great to be here and support Pauly. ”
