Seems I might have found a couple of places to snag some of these.

I think they will be available here soon.

Coach is a member at a cigar lounge in CT down the road from ESPN. One of the guys was asking him about his cigars last Sunday and he told us that they were being made by Davidoff. I heard from someone else say that it was being made by Camacho, which makes sense because Camacho was acquired by Davidoff.

yup, they are due out to the public at the end of the year I believe. They are his new company.

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 think they may be rolled in the DR then labeled and tubed here, or they have multiple factories? Either way, they are definitely a better desk decoration than they are a smoke!

I think that is the case, Scott.

They usually are further back on my desk, they look like ski-poles for The Hulk figure that my guys gave me.
