Default Re: The Word Puro w/Poll

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:

While DE is the largest importer of leaf INTO Nicaragua, and our strength is in "Blended Tobaccos" (Meaning NON PUROS), my suggestion is to purchase a good, healthy handful of beautiful Nicaraguan cigars, such as Padron, Joya de Nicaragua, Oliva, Perdomo, Pepin, Tat, Agonorsa, Placensia etc ... and include with that variety Liga Privada No.9 and T52, as well as our newly released Liga UNDERCROWN. Than start to understand Nicaragua and how Drew Estate fits in that circle. Nicaragua won't let you down ... I promise.
