I pass his Home place when I head to the Bay to fish. Nice little town called Saluda Virginia.
If only half of the things that he is reported to have done as a Marine, are true...... then he was one heck of a man.

I just looked Saluda up on Google maps. Looks like a nice small town very near where the Rappahannock empties into the Bay.

American mobster and boss of the Bonanno crime family: Carmine 'the cigar' Galante, actually liked to smoke an occasional pipe.

However, It was a cigar he was smoking when the other New York families grew tired of his domination of the heroin trade and whacked him in 1979. He died with it still in his mouth.
