The J. Grotto Silk line from Paul Joyal and Ocean State Cigars is getting its fifth vitola this month, and it’s the smallest one yet. Measuring at 4 1/4 x 41, the J. Grotto Silk Petit Corona (MSRP $5.99) is both the shortest and skinniest vitola in the line, which also includes a Robusto (5 x 52), Gran Toro (6 x 52), Churchill (7 x 50), and Gordo (6 x 60). All five vitolas come in 20-count boxes and feature the same blend of an Ecuadorian shade-grown Connecticut-seed wrapper, Indonesian and Honduran-grown criollo 98 binders and filler from the Trojes region of Honduras and Nicaragua’s Estelí region. Silk debuted in 2012 and was the third line in the J. Grotto portfolio, following the original J. Grotto and J. Grotto Reserve.
