Покурить means the completed process of smoking. Закурить means only the beginning, when you light your cigarette.

Also you can use "покурить" in meaning let's go to smoke right now just for once: "Пойдем покурим." And "закурить" means that you start to smoke in general. Like you have never smoked before, but now something happened and you закурил.
