A new Petit Corona is the first line extension for the J. Grotto Silk boutique premium cigar from Paul Joyal’s Ocean State Cigars. The 4-1/4" x 41 Petit Corona is a departure from the extra-ring gauge Robusto (5" x 52), Gran Toro (6" x 52), Churchill (7" x 50), and commanding Gordo (6" x 60). The Gor do in particular has found favor with the new breed of cigar smokers who enjoy the shape’s long-duration, billowing smoke.

These manufacturers were not sharing booth space, we just combined them into a single slideshow due to the number of pictures we had from each.
