The Rocky Patel Freedom Connecticut is a line extension to the popular Freedom cigars. It is a smoother and milder alternative to the line’s hearty versions. The cigar’s Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper cloaks a binder and filler made of Nicaraguan tobacco. Founder and brand owner Rocky Patel has fought extensively to protect the rights of cigar smokers. The Freedom cigar symbolizes Patel’s tireless efforts.
