The Word Puro w/Poll

Emjaysmash · 02-20-2012, 07:46 AM

I have always heard the term used in the US as defining a cigar with all constituent tobaccos from the same country of origin.

I have heard the word used by Cubans as the word for "cigar". If you watch Buena Vista Social Club, Compay Segundo refers to cigars as "puros".

I can see Cubans using the term puro to mean cigar since they don't really use leaf from anywhere else.
