White Rose (Honey)
We apologize for currently being out of stock on certain sizes. Our blender is currently working magic in the blending bowl. Please check back soon.
The Wars of the Roses were 15th Century conflicts fought between the Yorks and the Lancasters for control of the throne of England. Though extinguished with the death of Richard III in 1485, the Yorkist tradition is proud and lives on both in its direct descendants and in the hearts and minds of English romantics. With White Rose, we honor the House of York.
This soft Burley and Cavendish mixture will be one of the most unique aromatics in your cellar. The pronounced honey topping at times resembles tea, or even rum. The sophisticated pipe smoker will immediately appreciate the essence of Lakeland tobacco characteristics, as rosewater is apparent on the exhale. A sweet, perfumed delight!
White Rose was proudly developed in 2017 to celebrate the 200th Episode of Country Squire Radio and was presented to and named for Beau York, our dear friend.

The description of this tobacco sounded intriguing so I just had to order a sample. I smoked some this morning and it is delightful! Such a gentle smoke, softly floral scented, not perfumey at all. It is the perfect mix of a mellow tobacco with a hint of rose. I see myself smoking quite a bit of this lovely blend!

This my first real tobacco and my only question is, “Why didn’t I order this sooner?!”
I don’t smoke in the house but I sure wish I did. The honey flavor on the inhale is wonderful and you really can taste rose water on the exhale. The aroma is pleasant and, I imagine, creates a great room note.

I ordered two ounces of White Rose about 6 weeks ago after hearing JD and Beau mention it on the podcast. Trust me, I was not disappointed. It is a very smooth smoke that I can smoke multiple times a day with no issue. It has a very light a pleasant smell with a good room note.
I enjoyed so much, that I ordered 4 more ounces and just received it this week in the mail.

This stuff is amazing! It’s a unique blend that does not disappoint. They honey note comes through clearly without being overpowering. A warm room note that makes me glad to be a pipe smoker.

I ordered 4oz of this, Rivendell and Parson’s Blend. My only mistake was not ordering way more of White Rose, but, live and learn. It is not that the other two are not good tobaccos (particularly Rivendell), it is just that this one is so spectacular. I am smoking through this White Rose like wild fire and will be ordering more soon, a lot more!

I spent fifteen years chasing camels through the barren desert of ciggies before returning to the pipe. In my experience both pre- and post-cigarette I’ve valued variety in my pipe tobacco, except for burley-heavy mixtures and lakelands; burley tends to be bitter to my palate, and floral essences remind me of smoking cheap shaving cream.
Curiosity and a conversation between friends on a piping forum made me reconsider White Rose, and I am amazed. It’s a bit sticky on filling the pipe but from first light forward it is simply unique. I taste graham crackers in the first third of the bowl with the floral essence readily available on the retro-hale. The remainder of the pipe reminds me of a good black tea that steadily strengthens as the smoke continues. The rosewater becomes brighter as well, until it finally comes to shine with the burley and honey.
One of the best aromatics I’ve tasted, ever. Filled with sweet, nutty, creamy, flowery notes that evolve over the bowl and keep your attention while engaging a huge swath of the palate. More, please.

I can’t think of when I have been more impressed by a tobacco blend, except maybe when I tried Old Toby. Light, pleasantly sweet with wonderful notes of honey, floral, and the bearest hint of Lakeland tonquin. This is a fantastic crisp, light smoke. It lights well, is not goopy, absolutely no tongue-bite, and burns all the way with few, if any, re-lights. I’m told the room-note is incredible (I have a hard time distinguishing room-notes while I am smoking because it gets lost in all the flavors…), like a nice light floral air freshener.
This is one blend every piper needs to try at least once.

A delight from the start to the finish of the bowl A long quest for a honey aromatic that actually tastes like honey is not only over but surpassed. A lovely blend.

Absolutely delightful! A real honey taste and a floral retrohale. Smells nice out of the jar, in the jar, being smoked, and leaves a brilliant room note. Burns very well (I always leave my tobaccos to dry for about an hour) and has no tongue bite. Very hard to mess up while smoking, you can go fast or slow and have no issues. My biggest negative is how things like 1Q just don’t compare anymore. Never stop making this tobacco!

First heard about this amazing tobacco when they created it on the country Squire radio podcast. So far it is my favorite! Great quality and smells amazing! Great aromatic!!
Joey K (verified owner) –
White Rose is a heavy blend of honey that really remains within the pipes bowl. Burns really hot and has a substantial tongue bite. The blend starts off has a couple of other squire blends. Room note and bag aroma. I wish it was a keeper however definitely not recommended for high end pipes.

As Spring comes to Colorado, I began searching for a lighter tobacco to introduce to my Vauen Empire briar. To me, Spring brings to mind the bloom of flowers and the taste of honey. I ordered some Sutliff Honey from a local tobacconist, as well as White Rose from the Country Squire. While I enjoy the Sutliff Honey, there is something handcrafted and special about the White Rose. If only Jackson, Mississippi were closer, I’d come into the shops and enjoy my pipe in the house of the White Rose! Highly recommended.

Absolutely delightful! I can’t get enough of this beautiful blend. It has a nice sweet but mild flavor and the scent is Intoxicating. It has a nice old pipe smell. It reminds me of my childhood. If this is the only tobacco option that I had for the rest of my life, I would be completely satisfied.

White Rose is an absolutely heavenly aromatic. It arrives ready to smoke in my opinion, perfect moisture level for an aromatic.
Wonderful room note. Everyone around you will enjoy the aroma of this blend.
I don’t see how anyone could smoke this blend hot or to the point of tongue bite, it is as smooth and easy going as anyone could ask for.
I also don’t see it ghosting any pipe. Everyone should have pipes strictly for aromatics. I am smoking this one out of a Favola and a Miele, as well as a meerschaum.
Sweet honey with the floral taste of roses on the exhale.
This is one of my favorite aromatics. I could see old Christian Rosenkreuz himself enjoying this blend.
I will definitely be ordering more.
Five stars all the way around!!!!!

Very nice. This is my wife’ favorite for me to smoke, she loves the room notes and says the bag smells sweetly of chocolate raisins.

This is probably one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, and I don’t just mean tobaccos. It smells just like it tastes, and that’s of natural honey and the flowers from which the bees collected their nectar. A truly astonishing blend that I will most definitely be buying by the pound. Great job, Country Squire!

WOW!
From the beginning to the end, this tobacco tasted as it is described – rose and honey. It’s not bursting in your face with the flavors, I don’t know how to describe it other than a cup of tea that is lightly floral and lightly sweet, with a soft floral fragrance gently wafting from the cup as it cools. This one surprised me because the taste did stay throughout the entire bowl. I even walked away and allowed the bowl to cool completely a few times and still, it tasted the same (then again, most of the Aros I’ve tried from CS manage to maintain the flavors, you guys do some interesting voodoo on the blends – Please, keep it up!). There was barely any nicotine imo. I am regretting only getting 2 oz of this because it is sold out and I am nearly finished with the bag!

I was excited when this arrived. Bag note is sweet, floral, and honey. A little moist but pretty typical for an aromatic tobacco. Takes a little time to light. It’s just a very pleasant tobacco. I taste and smell the Cavendish, floral, and honey. A great find as I am a Lakeland fan!

Wow!!! I’ve been smoking a pipe off and on for 58 years. I’ve enjoyed VaPers, English, Oriental and Aromatics. I can honestly say that White Rose is my favorite blend! I am really impressed, great flavor, great room note it stays lit. A truly great Aromatic!!!

Exquisitely balanced blend. The quality tobacco is a pleasure. Stronger honey note into tea, and that touch of floral towards the end of each puff and more evident but not cloying in the room note. The smoke production is hearty but smooth as ever can be.
Well done! I’ll likely always have a stock of this on hand.

Tonight was my first time trying this blend, and my first words after the initial few puffs were, “Oh wow.” After the bowl was done I felt like the only bad thing about it was that it eventually had to end.
Maybe it’s because I’m a girl and I love all things honey and tea and roses, but this was the most gentle and romantic blend of tobacco I have ever smoked. The first half of the smoke was like a good cup of tea with that hint of honey that is just perfect, and then the last half of the bowl waxed poetic on a theme of roses with a hint of rum in the background. Yet throughout the smoke the flavors are never overdone or pushy. It’s inviting and understated.
Along with all the other reviewers here, I have to say this is the most unique blend I have ever tried. I can’t wait to enjoy another bowl.

Yes is the word that comes to mind. For me it’s a slow smoker as it lessens the bite. I have only smoked this in my smaller pipes. The honey is present upon opening the bag, and the taste and room note is subtle but present. It’s very nice and I will be adding this to my rotation.
