Whats you 100 point cigar?

I may have a slightly different opinion on the whole 100 point thing. I think a cigar hits a 100 points for me if it's a true representation of a certain flavor profile, and of course burns fairly well. I call these 'perfect cigars'. They don't have to compete with each other, be overly complex or expensive, nor be physically beautiful, just deliver the goods in the smoking department. I have a lot of these but off the top of my head:

Tat black CG and robusto
Tat noella and noella reserva
La Riqueza 5 and petite robusto
Frank and Boris

DPG blue robusto
DPG black robusto
DPG JJ robusto

Illusione cg:4
Illusione 68
Epernay robusto

Oliva v belicoso
09 V maduro
Cain F robusto

Monte 2's that are on...

There's more, but that's a quick list...

never had a 100 pointer either, but the more recent cigars to come out of Cuba have been some of the best I've ever smoked.

my top 3:

'08 Vegas Robaina Famosos/Familiars
'08/'09 H. Upmanns (all of them)
'04 Partagas Shorts

It just seems like the H. Upmann marca is getting the best tasting tobacco right now, not sure why, but they taste much more rich and complex than most all other CCs I've smoked lately.

Tough call but for me it would absolutely have to be the Davidoff 100th Anniversary Robusto in the NC world. In the CC world, hands-down, it would have to be the Dunhill Estupendo from 1984.
