Cos I gotta say. If someone put it there it kinda takes away from the impact of that famous picture.

It is probably the most iconic mafia related picture ever taken.


I'm reading the Coffey Files right now. He didn't put it there.

Joe Coffey addressed the cigar in his book. He says it was proven that Galante had the cigar in his mouth at the moment the killers started shooting. When Joe Coffey arrived on the scene, Galante was already removed from Joe and Mary's.
