Yes, those are the cigars that were being discussed, although it should be noted that the site you linked to is a web-archive site and not a currently operating website.

I couldn't remember the name so I just browsed until the old brain was confronted with the name.
I bought a box.
They are very, very, very, very, very mild. Aging turns them to dust. Kind of like a mummy movie.
It's a novelty.

They were mild cigars cigars to start with, aging just rounded them out some more. The following is from a discussion elsewhere with Jonathan Drew about these cigars:

Señor Cerdan is a European, I believe Spanish man who has been behind some brands including Griffin, but always related to the Davidoff factory in the DR. To the best of my memory, he sold Griffins to Davidoff, but continued with his own brand, mostly in Europe.

During the boom, the distributor for mr cerdan was two brothers, Jorge and ? And the cigars were absolutely wonderful. They were very similar to the Davidiff White Label, of course mild, but classy smokes. They were also priced in the Davidoff range. During the boom, when mild was "cool", these cigars were excellent. They would be very elegant smokes at this point.

If the cigars are the old ones, you are absolutely steeling them and should consider them as though they were Davidoffs. Nothing wrong with a box or two of ten year old Davidoff, back before the San Vincente craze.

Best,
JD

I agree with Jon and from the ones I smoked, I thought they were very Davidoff-ish (NC).

Interesting.
I thought they were tasteless.
I knew mixing vodka, jagermeister, and anti freeze (with a twist) would eventually affect my taste buds.

Considering their storage history and age, it's possible you received some duds.

To be honest, I didn't really go nuts for them myself and I eventually ended up sending most of them to Hugh for the troops.

I gave most of mine away too. To guys who usually smoke Swishers.
