Yes - stores (and nurseries) occasionally carry them. These pears tend to bruise easily so you won't see them too often. Harry and David's (the gift basket people) sell them as "Royal Riviera" pears, but they are basically the same pear.
Ooh I think I might have had them once from Harry and David's. Thank you! I will try to get some. How do you know so much about fruit (if you don't mind me asking...)?

I work for the government making weapons-grade fruit to lob at enemy positions. No, actually, growing crazy fruit is one of my hobbies. :-)
