Is that your understanding? If true, then you would have to agree that very few cigars are puros, wouldn't you?

Sure sounds like a "manufacturers" marketing perspective... ie... Cuban seed kind of logic. I think "our definition" is what counts and that is all grown in the same country. Gets blurred so much in todays NC market with all the "blending" going on.
