Carmine Galante

Carmine Galante (Italian: ['karmine ga'lante]; February 21, 1910 – July 12, 1979) was an American mobster. Galante was rarely seen without a cigar, leading to the nickname "The Cigar" and "Lilo" (a Sicilian term for cigar).

Galante had a long career in organized crime and rose to acting boss (unofficial) of the Bonanno crime family. He was assassinated in 1979 while dining in a restaurant.
