Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale Sonny Becomes Regular Production Line

Chazz Palminteri’s “A Bronx Tale” Sonny, which debuted in October 2025 as a single-vitola limited edition, is now a regular production line, with some minor changes made to the blend and the packaging, as well as new vitolas.

First, while the blend looks the same on paper, it is not the exact same blend as the limited edition. The regular production version still uses a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper, a Dominican binder and a filler blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, though the leaves aren’t as old as the limited edition. Furthermore, this blend is described as being medium to full-bodied, whereas the original was called a full-bodied line.

The line is available in four sizes, all of which are round, a change from the box-pressed 6 x 54 toro vitola in which the line debuted:

• Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale Sonny Robusto (5 x 52)
• Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale Sonny Toro (6 x 54)
• Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale Sonny Torpedo (6 x 52)
• Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale Sonny Gordo (6 x 60)

The cigars are also now available in 20-count boxes, whereas the original release came in 12-count boxes. That original limited edition was priced at $25 per cigar.

Palminteri released his first cigar, A Bronx Tale, in 2023. Sonny gets its name from the actor’s best-known work, “A Bronx Tale,” which started as the one-man show that Palminteri wrote based on his own childhood. He wrote the screenplay for the movie of the same name that was released in 1993, which was directed by Robert De Niro, who co-starred in the film. The Sonny part of the name comes from the character that Palminteri played.

Palminteri developed the blend with Dean Parsons of Epic Cigars and Paul DiSilvio of La Casa Grande Cigars in the Bronx, N.Y. The cigars are made at the Tabacalera Von Eicken S.R.L. in the Dominican Republic.
