Let me start out by saying that I have a lot of respect for Peter Stokkebye and all he has done for the pipe smoking hobby for many years. While his pipes are exemplary, I do have trouble enjoying most of the tobacco blends Peter releases to the public. They all most certainly have the Danish "aromatic" flair -- i.e., they don't taste a whole lot like tobacco.
Evening Rose is typically Danish. Do you like your tobacco to taste like, well, tobacco? Then avoid Evening Rose.
Do you like a dry, cool burning blend that doesn't leave a soppy dottle in the bottom of your pipe? Then avoid Evening Rose.
Do you prefer your pipe tobacco without pieces of flowers sprinkled among the leaf? Then avoid Evening Rose.
Those who regularly enjoy highly flavored aromatic blends may find this to be a step up in class from the "drugstore" candy flavored tobaccos on the market. Those who enjoy true tobacco taste from their pipe hobby will not subject their fine briars to Evening Rose.
I am all for fellow pipesters who enjoy aromatics. I am all for fellow pipesters who enjoy straight tobacco taste. How you enjoy your pipes is your business and should be respected. I simply prefer my tobacco to taste more like tobacco than flowers.

The Virginias are grassy and slightly citrusy, while the Kentucky is woody, slightly nutty with a pinch of spice, though you only notice them a little. The rose petals are very mildly sweet, and extremely floral to a fault. I got a little vanilla from the topping. The tobaccos are sublimated by the toppings. Has almost nicotine. Won't bite, but can warm the tongue if puffed fast. Burns a little quick and wet, requiring relights, and leaves dottle. Has a little unpleasant bitterness in the after taste.

I tried this in a sample from a friend. It is hard for me to review this because I could not get past the first half of the bowl. While this does taste odd and is a strange blend that is not the reason for me not being able to smoke it. This stuff bites horribly! I live in florida have not decided whether or not I would rather have a mouth full of angry fire ants or smoke another bowl of this. I dont think it was the heat that caused the bite because the bowl was not hot and I was smoking very cautiosly. The only other note I have on this blend is that it left a bad after taste in my mouth as well.

I purchased this blend due to the novelty of it actually having flower bits in the mix. That novelty came to be the same thing that proved to make the blend one that I wish never to smoke again.
Moisture content was just right out of the bag, and the aroma was full of a floral sweetness, sadly to say the first impression on aroma was actually not a pleasant one, but the smell of an old nursing home.
Packing was very nice. The tobacco held a light nicely and smoked straight through the bowl leaving a mid-gray ash. However, with my first impression this was not a very enjoyable smoke.
After convincing myself that I should give this blend a chance I found that the flavors where sweet, and definitely floral. The tobacco stayed lit and smoked cool.
I prefer aromatic blends but I could not get beyond the possibilities of smelling like roses.
This is a novelty blend. Those willing to experiment may find a choice blend, but as for me, I will stick with putting tobacco in my pipes.
