Hmm for the price it'd be nice to have a box or 3 But i don't have the humi room or think I'd even like them but may do it just so someone has em. I'm trying not to have to many of 1 thing till I have sampled and picked a likeness.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I apparently missed out on these... the website no longer exists. If anybody would like to part with a box/some boxes, please let me know... I really wanted a few boxes of these (preferably 3... that buy 2 get one free deal would've been perfect).
I'm quite bummed I missed the boat...
Edit: I have an email into the company, so I'll report back with what they say.

I have a few singles left, like three, maybe four. If you want them Dan, they're yours. Just PM me your address.

Thanks, Adam...you rock! I'm actually looking for a couple full boxes (I will probably post something in the WTB forum once I hear back from this guy if they are sold out).

Dan - If you hear back from the guy and they're sold out, shoot me a PM. Also, it sounds like you already have his email address, but if you need that, let me know. I might have his phone number somewhere too if I dig around my old phone...
[Reply]
Dan, if you hear back and he DOES have some left, please PM me. I'm interested.

Are these the cigars you are looking for? Cerdan?

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:

Seņor 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.

I've had mixed results. Some were very VERY mild, to the point of being bored, but others were mild, but still flavorful. For the most part I've enjoyed these very much and am glad that I picked up a total of four boxes. I've given away most of a box already (more than I've smoked
:-)), and I'm sure I'll give away more before all is said and done, but I do enjoy these and are particularly excellent cigars for a morning smoke with my coffee. Honestly, if he still had his site up and the same price as he did when I bought them all, I'd probably pick up another three boxes.
