Honeyrose is a pretty good smoke, especially if you like heavily cased aromatic tobacco flavors. It looks somewhat like tobacco. It has a cut similar to many pipe tobaccos. It has a color that is similar to some pipe tobaccos, but there is a very subtle green tinge to some of the pieces. The tin note is sweet and sumptuous , a little reminiscent of some fine heavily flavored domestic pipe tobaccos like Blood Red Moon and Eileen's Dream. It smokes very much like pipe tobacco and stays lit a bit better than many conventional smokes and burns all the way to the bottom of the bowl to a nice, fine white ash. It burns a bit too hot, but doesn't really seem to bite for all that. All in all, it's pretty well-behaved. It seems fairly wet when the pouch is first opened, but that level of moisture turns out to be Goldilocks for this particular mixture, so it burns nicely straight from the pouch without preliminary drying. It has a wonderful room note and a nice, sweet tobacco flavor that's not complex in any way, but still relaxing and satisfying. I liken it somewhat to a fine flue-cured Virginia, for those with a nose for such things. It has some of that Virginia grassiness and sweetness and a bit of citrus. It even has a little of that pleasant tobacco acidity and a faint hint of its spiciness. Pretty impressive, actually. A corncob pipe or a moderately priced briar would be suitable for smoking this mixture, as it tends to smoke a bit wet and hot. It also seems to deposit a bit more gunk than a typical juicy aromatic, but nothing too off-putting. I might be wary of smoking Honeyrose in a Savinelli, Peterson, Briarworks, or other fine briar pipes. Time will tell. I do want to make one thing clear: if you are a fan of Balkans and Englishes and almost never smoke anything else, this is not the product for you. It is heavily cased and topped and will not offer any of the smokiness, pepperiness, or spiciness on the level of latakia, Turkish, or perique, It just ain't going to happen. If you're one to fawn over the likes of Quiet Nights, Balkan Sasieni, Gaslight, Penzance, or Nightcap, you may want to take a pass on this one. I knocked off one star for the dizzyingly high price tag for this product. Don't get me wrong, it's terrific if you want to avoid tobacco and its accompanying nicotine and its high quality is apparent. But, the price is very high, commensurate with some of the finest aged pipe tobaccos on offer. So, I would say that having a small supply of Honeyrose in your cellar is a good idea for those moments when you don't want a nic hit, but the cost may be too high for an everyday smoke. A 2oz. tin of SPC Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged--about $18. Two ounces of Honeyrose Farmer's--about $22. That should give most pipe aficionados pause. Read more
This stuff is SOUR and generates a LOT of spit. It also tastes terrible and doesn't smell all that great when burning. The only thing good about it is that it does burn nicely and smells nice in the package. I couldn't wait to finish the bowl. I definitely will not purchase this again because it is not a good smoke.
