When I hear "puro" I think of a cigar where all components are from one country.
Every description I can recall seeing of Drew Estates cigars has a breakdown of where the leaf comes from. Heres a quote from Jons intro thread where he makes the distinction between puros and blends:

Than start to understand Nicaragua and how Drew Estate fits in that circle. Nicaragua won't let you down ... I promise.
