Not all Family Feuds can be bad. Sometimes all you need is to shake things up a bit to get a true feeling of what should be on top. That is what we did here with two popular bulk tobaccos. Scotty's Milk and Honey is a popular aromatic that has been been around for 40 years. It consists of a blend of bright Virginia, nut-brown Burley and black Cavendish. On the other end of the feud we have Decatur Dark Sweet Rum which is a smooth blend of Virginia, Burley and black Cavendish with a splash of rum and vanilla. Both bulk tobaccos are not overly sweet but offer something unique in their own right. Now we call on our P&C Faithful to help determine which is the Family Feud battle leader. At this time you can purchase both tobaccos at a low price and be able to smoke them side by side. Once you have tried them, come back and leave your review and tell us who the clear winner should be.
Not sure what to call this but it was not sweet or had a flavor of rum. I did get notes of Carmel and a touch of nutmeg. All in all it was not a failure just not what I expected. I would buy it again if it went on sale.

Good Room Aroma

Room note is very good, burns well and is a good smoke for the afternoon or evening. This one pass the wife test.

Perfect burn - Excellent smoke.
Apr 11, 2019
Super consistent burn, and excellent burn traits once tamped and settled in. Really enjoy being able to establish a nice bowl, and sitting back to chat and relax without relighting. The only hesitation on not being 5-stars, is that I have other dark rums that are slightly more aromatic and the company around me prefers those - But they do not burn as excellent as this. Really pleasant note - don't get me wrong on that point. For me (the smoker) it's really pleasant.

Scotty's Milk and Honey
Jan 17, 2019
This Blend is absolutely my favorite tobacco smoke.. I've tried a few other Scott'ys blends and I find that all of them are quite good... But for me, this one Blend, I loaded up in Mason Jars so I don't run out.. No wonder this one has been around for so long as its a pleasure to smoke and those around you giving compliments to its aroma.

Scotty's Milk and Honey is a great sweet flavor and aroma.
Decatur's Dark Sweet Rum also has a great sweet flavor and aroma.
I just don't know which I like better.

Dry and hot
Dec 29, 2018
Found this blend to be dry, burn hot and leave a strong tongue bite. After blending in some vinalla custard it smoothed out and has become very pleasing. My lady does enjoy the room note.

Smooth Mellow Decatur
Feb 21, 2018
I put this tobacco in storage for about six weeks after I received it, which took care of the moisture problem. The casing in this blend is unique among the aromatics I've samples - upon lighting the flavor is slightly musty with a little sweetness, but the burley dominates. Once the bowl gets going, though, the virginia and cav start surfacing, and the casing starts to peek through. By the time the bowl is half smoked, the casing just gets sweeter and yummier, but it doesn't outshine the fine tobacco.
Overall this mixture is well worth trying.

After more than 10 years, I have switched.
Feb 19, 2018
While I prefer Butternut Burley (I smoked it for more than 10 years), it has been priced beyond my means. Milk and Honey is nearly as mild and flavorful and is much more affordable.

Decatur Dark Sweet Rum - Delivers What It Promises
Nov 25, 2017
Decatur Dark Sweet Rum is a good aromatic blend that delivers what it promises. It has a light dash of rum, which is all it needs; not overpowering. And the presence of vanilla is just right too, with just the right amount of sweetness. The pouch aroma is nice and pleasant, and accurately imparts what the smoke will taste like. It's a bit moist, but not overly so; stays lit fairly well and does not bite the tongue. A decent pleasant aromatic, well-priced, and leaves a pleasant room note to boot. Recommended to all who can appreciate a moderate sweet aromatic.

Wife likes the room note. Not harsh and almost no bite. The rum is subtle, but you know it's there.

Great aromatic for pipe smoker AND those around him/her!
Feb 12, 2017
Good all day smoke.... I have had a couple bowls of a 4 ounce order, and it smacks of Lane's RLP6 with a hit of 1Q put in as well. I am probably way off on this observation, and this is not to deter others from giving this blend a try. It is mild, flavorful, easy burning, non offensive to others around you. I will always have some of this around, for the right moment. My youngest daughter can always tell when I have been smoking my pipe as she can pick up the aroma on my clothing. Well, suffice it to say she LOVED Milk and Honey! Some aromatics are "over the top" with their casings, and it seems these tobaccos are all trying to please the surrounding people, and not the pipe smoker. Milk and Honey is not the case. I recommend this blend!

Nice pouch aroma and room note also good. I'm a heavy puffer and didn't get tongue bite so I'd say all around good blend.

A pleasant Rum Tobacco
Mar 07, 2016
While I smoke and enjoy tobaccos from across the board, Decatur Dark Sweet Rum is one of the best all day aros I have smoked. Although it can burn hot, that just means slow down and enjoy...and as always the P&C Staff are awesome and shipping is fast.

A nice bulk rum

Bulk tobaccos rarely rival tin aromatics, but Decatur Dark Sweet Rum is almost as good as Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice.

Mildly sweet and fully enjoyable
Feb 11, 2016
I regularly enjoyed this tobacco about 10 yeas ago, but over time I drifted to other tastes. On my last order I included some of this blend for old time's sake. On my first bowl the memory of this tobacco came back to me. Mild but flavorful, just a little sweet, no bite, and it doesn't get sticky at the bottom of the bowl. This is back in my regular rotation.

A good change of pace, I can see why they named it Milk and Honey. It has little or no bite, and is very smooth. I like mine a tad sweeter, but I did keep coming back to it.

I am an inexperienced smoker. This was my first tobacco and after trying a few other I found this to be my favorite and most forgiving. I will definitely buy more and would recommend this to anyone new to smoking, pipes or other wise.

I just recently purchased 6 oz. of Milk and Honey, Scotty's Blend.I really like it as it has a good tobacco flavor with a great aroma. It stays lit so well and is not too moist or 'gooey' like some aromatics.I also use it to mix with Black Cavendish.For those who do not desire a 'too sweet' aromatic, this is perfect.I will be purchasing more of this for sure.Because of great flavor and aroma, this is an all day smoke most anywhere you can smoke.

A Real Lion Tamer.
Sep 26, 2015
Scotty's Milk & Honey has got to be the mildest, mellowest, coolest smoke I've ever experienced. This stuff is cooler than a bronze dinner bell in December and smoother than the paint job on a freshly waxed show car. I'd bet all the gold in Fort Knox that you could take the most harshest tongue-biting lion of a blend, add a little bit of Scotty's Milk & Honey, and that lion would be purring like a kitten. It' just absolutely that mellow.

FOR LOVERS OF A (NOT TOO SWEET) SMOKE
Sep 19, 2015
This is a cool, easy-burning aromatic that should appeal to lovers of vanilla tobaccos. The rum is less pronounced, but gives it a nice bottom note. I smoked a bowl in my decades-old Jarl and burned it down to the dottle in one light. The flavor is mild with little aftertaste and no bite. My wife noticed the sweet aroma right away. Decatur's Dark Sweet Rum offers a pleasant smoke. I will buy this again.

Great Milk and Honey
Aug 24, 2015
Whenever I smoke this tobacco I get nothing but positive remarks from everyone around on the aroma. I myself like it as it is a nice easy smoke. It is perfect if you're into aromatics. Also, my co-worker who is a seasoned cigarette smoker and usually hates pipe tobacco, has fallen in love with this tobacco as well.
