Mike Ditka Cigars........ - Page 2

There are Costco Ditka cigars and then there are Camacho / Graycliff Ditka cigars.

the Costco Ditka cigars come in tubes and are made by Pacific Cigar Co. in Illinois. They are the same ones you can find in "humi-tubes" at all the golf course pro shops. Pacific Cigar does a lot of custom sticks for courses and groups. They are very mild. I happen to have a Pacific Cigar - Ill smoke it and write a review.

the Camacho and Graycliff Ditkas are much better but are harder to find. You used to be able to get the premium Ditkas at his restaurants, but after all of the no-smoking bee ess (the downtown Chicago location even had a cigar and jazz lounge upstairs) they may be harder to come by.

A couple of the Pacific Ditkas from my desk at work. The lighter one is called the "Hall of Fame", and the toro is cal;led "Kick Ass". Both say "Produced in the Dominican Republic".

I had one about 8yrs ago at the restaurant. The person there said they were made by Ashton. It was ok, I did not buy extra. For the price, it wasn't worth it.

I got a few of the Pacific Cigar version sticks in tubes back in '07 at a Super Bowl pre-party. Ditka was an ass but his cigar guy was a pretty nice chap. Tried the Connecticut wrapped and it was like I was smoking air, extremely mild and little to no flavor. The thing was huge too, 7x60 or so. I was not impressed.
