I found these cigars to have good flavor. I’ve had 4 of them from the box so far, and 3 of them did not burn evenly which made for a very frustrating smoke. Not sure if they’re using inferior tobacco leaf, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the box. Mark me unhappy.........

Previous Freedoms were amazing. The new ones, however, don't taste nearly as good, and the construction is very poor.

I have tried a ton of sticks. My quest for an affordable everyday stick has lead me to this RP Freedom. This cigar is by far THE BEST affordable stick I have ever smoked. It burns well and has nice transitions throughout the stick. This is rare in a $4-5 Connecticut. First 3rd has a little strength (not bad at all), but I get a great creamy and light caramel taste from the 2nd 3rd until the finish. I allow my sticks to rest in my humidor at least 1 month before I start smoking them. What I find with a lot of cigar smokers is, they always rate inexpensive sticks as being bad. I get it because most are, but this one smokes BETTER than 90% of the $10+ sticks. JR ran a special on these sticks for less than $3 a stick a couple of months ago. I only bought about 60. When these go back on sale for less than $3 a stick again, I am buying at least 10 BOXES.

It is terrible when you set aside time to relax and the cigar is not up to par. This was not the case with my recent purchase

I have smoked 50% of my purchase and on every cigar it burns uneven to the point of making it difficult to finish.
Draw is ok, a bit harsh in the flavor, and with the uneven wrap, I would not purchase again.

Rocky Patel freedom Connecticut Toro.
I was disappointed with the cigar. It is too loose of construction and therefore does not give a good burn.I cannot recommend this cigar.

This is probably the most budget friendly of the Rocky line and I have never had a bad one. Some other reviewers have noted problems with construction and uneven burns but I have never experienced any of that myself. Consistent quality flavorful cigar.

Smoked 2 so fat. One was a very loose draw even with a punch cut. The other had one of the worst burns I have ever had. I always check the humidity of the sticks before smoking. The 2nd stick tested within my usual parameters. I smoked the original version in robusto. I loved the stick. Solid construction for the originals. The taste of the conneticut is your standard flavors. Slightly above mild but it was a Toro. The longer lengths usually seem stronger than the shorter.

I bought a box of 20 based on JRs recommendation that I trust. Let me first say that I have a number of Rocky Edge Toro Corago that I find very good. However, the freedom is just a lousy cigar. The burn is uneven, the cap end is soft, the taste is harsh which cancels out any flavor and the burn is fast (a good thing). Is it a good grass cutting cigar, no it is a good taking out the trash cigar and adding them.

20 year cigar smoker here. I do not understand the negative reviews here. This cigar is the one that got me out of Rosa Cuba, La Finca and the other big bundle brands. I have been through 3 boxes and the consistency, draw, and flavor are very good and this and its Maduro brother have also stopped me from buying more expensive cigars.

I have tried a ton of budget sticks. It took me almost 2 years to find RP Freedom Connecticut. The cigar is definitely stronger than mild, but smokes very good for a cheap stick. The first 3rd is a little strong, but within about 5 minutes, it smooths out to a solid mild smoke. Absolutely awesome with a cup of coffee. I buy boxes of these sticks when they go on sale. Once in a while JR will run a deal on RP Freedoms for less than $3 a stick. I bought 12 boxes during their last sub $3 special! I only see that deal about once or maybe twice a year. So glad I found a great everyday smoke for a reasonable price.

This is a great smooth tasting cigar. The only issue I have is, it doesn’t burn evenly. Everyone so far that I have smoked from the box has burned down on one side faster. But I would buy again. I really liked this cigar for an every day smoke.

Great cigar! I have smoked the Rocky Patel but never the freedom and I am impressed. 1st couple I have tried have a great even burn and good draw. The construction seems to be outstanding as I was smoking while on the golf course and they held up well. Caught them on a special and this is a great daily budget smoke!

I’ve had Rocky Patel Freedom in all of the wrappers but the Connecticut is a very nice, not too mild or too strong smoking experience. Just got my latest box today. As usual, super service from JR and unbelievably quick shipping. Highly recommended!

Smoked four of these before writing this in order to be fair. What a disappointment from Rocky whose cigars I have always enjoyed. This cigar was poorly constructed, falling apart after only a few puffs even though properly humidified. The flavor was ok for the first third but but became bitter after that. One of the very few times I have regretted a JR purchase.

Rocky Patel Freedom Connecticut
Toro 6 × 52 FRECT
Rocky Patel Freedom Connecticut Toro cigars bring a smoother tamer blend to Rocky’s popular Freedom line. Expertly rolled in a popular 6 × 52 size, the cigar starts off with Patel’s signature Nicaraguan binder and long filler tobaccos. Then, to tone down the strength, a beautiful golden-brown Connecticut wrapper leaf is applied. The result is a mellow to medium bodied cigar with more than enough flavor to satisfy smokers of all experience levels. Whether you’re new to the hobby, or a seasoned veteran, we think you’ll love this Toro’s warm and inviting flavors of cedar, cocoa, toasted almonds, and subtle hints of spice. You’ll also love the affordable box of 20 price! Be sure to secure a box when you place your next online order from JR Cigar.
