Graycliff's Mike Ditka Championship Series - Pirate (Pyramid)

$19.99

Graycliff's Mike Ditka Championship Series - Pirate (Pyramid) Product Details: Mike Ditka's Championship Series is much like the Graycliff Blue Label blend, but more full-bodied. It combines a smooth-burning Indonesian wrapper with a rich blend of tobacco from Brazil, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The cigar band is a replica of the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl ring from 1986. Length: 6 Ring gauge: 52

^^ Mazo of 1999 or 1666. The 1999 haven't been around for about a year.

^^^also, they were sold in Boxes, not Mazos

From a web site

"As it just so happens, a batch of the original release of Professionales in 1999 was never sold to the public but instead accidentally aged almost 10 years."

#9 I've seen them in the last month or so here in Cbid. I meant to buy them and forget to put my bid in.

There are selling them here on cbid and they do come in a mazo. I just pick some up 2 weeks ago and they are resting peacefully in the humi.

Well I was wrong. I just check an old CI catalog and they were sold in Mazos. Looked at what I thought was their Box, and it was a Graycliff Legends Box. Teach me to speak out of turn.

Oh man those Vintage 99's are SWEET! I wish those were still around!

I have a huge Ditka Tubo from Sledn! I may never smoke it!

I have one of the Graycliff /Mike Ditka Championship Series robusto, never smoked one before and have been saving it for a special occasion...

Can anyone tell me about the flavor profile or smoking experience with this stick... Just curious.
