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.

·"I loved this cigar, one of the better ones I have reviewed in recent history. Everything from the flavors, transitions and the construction were great. I really liked this corona vitola, and I'm curious what other sizes it is offered in as I wouldn't mind one that lasts longer. I would recommend this to anyone assuming the price is right." -Emmett (rhetorik)
"This could easily become my go to morning smoke with a cup of coffee. The mild beginning transitioned to some bolder flavors nicely. Each third developed a distinct profile and stayed true. The leather really balanced the char and pepper, with the dark roast coffee at the end being a pleasant surprise." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

·"This was one nice stogie. Flavors were very much to my liking, and only wish it was a larger size to enjoy it longer." -Robert (NavyPiper)
"This is a good short smoke. Nothing too revolutionary, but definitely a good worthwhile lunch smoke. It had great promise and I would smoke it if time was in a pinch. The flavors were great to start and construction hampered it, but I don't think it's a bad cigar by any means." -Jack (Jack_H)

This year, we decided to give you a tour of the show through the pictures we took while we were there. Some are of new items, and some are just things we thought were interesting. We will have a new slideshow for each major manufacturer and one big one for the smaller manufacturers.
