Uncle Paulie's Deli

Uncle Paulie's Deli was named after the deli of the same name, which was started in LA in order to bring the Queens-style deli to the Los Angeles market. The backstory involves Jon Buscemi (of sneaker brand BUSCEMI), who moved from New York to Los Angeles, eventually recruiting his cousin Paulie to bring a quality deli to his new home. Privada Cigar Club was inspired by the story, partnering with Jochy Blanco to create the Uncle Paulie's Deli cigar. The blend uses a Dominican-grown Connecticut wrapper, a Cuban-seed ligero binder, and fillers that are Cuban and Criollo-seed.
