Al Capone Loved His Cigars

Even though Al Capone was a notorious gangster with a propensity for violence, he saw himself as a “generous benefactor, someone who provided jobs for thousands and served decent liquor and square games.” 

As he was being led to the train that was taking him to prison, Al Capone “bade adieu to his freedom by lighting a cigar.”
