Something Jonathan Drew posted about these cigars on another site:

I knew this day would come - the Cerdan Cigar. So here's the basic story, with a bunchnof missing parts and possible mistakes.

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 was gifted a bag of these from a brother on another board, and after smoking a couple of them, I tend to agree with Waves and Jon Drew, I thought they were kind of Davidoff-ish, were decent cigars, but way too mild for me though so I ended up sending most of the remaining cigars to Hugh for the troops.
