EPIC TEAMS UP WITH ACTOR CHAZZ PALMINTERI FOR A BRONX TALE
In 2023, Epic Cigars released a limited-edition cigar in collaboration with the actor Chazz Palminteri, who is best known for A Bronx Tale, the 1993 film in which he starred alongside Robert De Niro. This year, the two are releasing a new regular production line that is an offshoot of that cigar.
It’s called A Bronx Tale Calogero and is named for Palminteri’s grandfather, Calogero, who emigrated to the United States in 1908.
The blend for A Bronx Tale Calogero is based on that of the limited edition, meaning it uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Like the original, Calogero is produced by Tabacalera Von Eicken S.R.L. in the Dominican Republic in collaboration with Paul DiSilvio of La Casa Grande Tobacco Co.
You will find the overall smoke subtle, loaded with flavor, and finishing smooth. Not too powerful and not too light, you will experience a magnificent cigar that would make Calogero proud.
