Another excellent blend from the Scotty's P&C tobacco line. For those of us old enough to remember the shopping mall tobacconist of the 80's, it is fond memories indeed. Row upon row of fragrant aromatic tobacco in glass canisters, the ambience of times long past. To me, this blend conjures up the entire genre. The tin note, room note, and flavor of this brilliant Burley/Black Cavendish blend brings all of these wonderful memories back home for me. Sadly, it is to be discontinued by P&C and is destined to go the way of the shopping mall tobacconist. Only to be a memory of what once was. P&C says the blend is a victim of the new Deeming regulations. Rubbish, this blend was around before the 2007 rule. It is a shame the younger generation will never be able to experience the blends like this that were the inspiration for many we have today. What a loss, that they will never have the fond memories our generation does.

Milk and Honey marks the end of my winter long “vacation” into aromatics. Milk and Honey is an aromatic blend that I believe was part of the Pipes and Cigar's stable of blends prior to the days of Russ Ouellette as the chief blender. M&H is a full on aromatic that is pleasant and sweet. I don't get a lot of the scotch flavor as it is very subtle. I also think that I taste some Lane tobacco in the blend. I didn't detect any bite from M&H and it doesn't burn wet. Scotty has created a solid, although not unique, reliable aromatic with Milk and Honey. Recommended.

If you want a good black cavendish this one should do nicely. I think it is a little mild for my taste and don't smoke it too much.

It is nice for when you want something light. Or if you want those around you to not be offended but I rarely if ever smoke for anyone but myself. I am offended by cigarette smoke but have to tollerate it, so I could'nt care less about most not liking my smoke smell, especailly a cigarette smoker. At least my girlfriend says it smells good and she does not complain.

Another good blend from Scotty's series. Honestly I need to try the tobacco's I have not gotten to yet in this series because old red is my favorite and this is great also. Good job Scotty and Russ!

Update: this is still good but try mcclelland VBC (vanilla black cavendish)is much better, trust me.

My last tobacco order brought me a disappointing Whiskey blend (Peter Stokkebye No.2), so I'm hoping for an improvement here. What luck, the bag opened to a much nicer creamy sweet aroma I'd be happy to huff if nothing else, though it resembled candy more than Whiskey.

The mostly dark Cavendish was a bit damp from the topping, having the hallmark of a classic 'pick your favorite flavor' from the tobacco candy bin, which I didn't mind. Fired up and smoldered well enough, giving off a pleasant smoke that wasn't as sugary as the the bag, yet still very much an Aromatic. If blindfolded, I wouldn't of guessed it was a Whiskey blend at first, but there a certain 'heat' to the smoke that could convince me there was something alcoholy at work inside.

In the end it was a mild all day smoke that tasted like honey if nothing else. It was tasty enough, but didn't have the leather for smokers who dislike sweet Aromatics.

With a name like milk and honey you would think it would be sweet and wholesome. But no my friends it's not. The predominant flavor is booze ( whisky I guess I not drink), but it's a very mild taste and not overpowering. Low nic levels will allow you to smoke this on an empty stomach and be ok. Lights easy and stays lit. Very mild flavor, no tongue bite. If you like whisky flavor this will float your boat. Bottom line it's goods, but I would be ordering it again.

I am new to pipe smoking so here is a beginners perspective. I chose this blend because it seemed like a good mild blend to start with. I was pleased with it I have only had 2 bowls and the first wasn't what i expected, but the second was better I think i packed the first wrong. Overall I like the smoothness of this blend, did not get any real tongue bite, it seems like something is missing though.

Yes! This was a great smoke! A sweet-tasting tobacco that tastes naturally sweet. I enjoyed this considerably and really affirmed that I need to explore more virginia blends.

Edit: In an order to P&C I ordered 1oz of Old Red but they mistakenly put in 1oz of this but called it Old Red (mistakes happen). So I initially made this review for that tobacco. When I bought 8oz of Old Red, I quickly realized it wasn't the same thing I tried. Bob at P&C very graciously sent me 8oz of this tobacco and I quickly moved my original review above here.

This one is a very good aeromatic it is quite good with a pleasent room note and finish profile. From the pouch it literally smells like honey bunches of oats cereal. But while your smoking it, the flavor is awsome; especially for me being an English blend fan. My dad doesn't like this blend but for me it is good! I sometimes add a bit of latakia to it to make it an aeromatic English and it evens things out even better.

I would recommend this blend for experienced smokers who has the patience to appreciate a fine smoke. It might be a little apprehensive for new smokers but go ahead and give it a try, you might like it.

A decent all day smoke due to its mildness. Smoked it while raking the l;eavies and I loaded several bowls one after the other with no bad effect (and I have a pretty weak stomach for nicotine).

No mouth burn and I was puffing pretty good while doing the yard work. It stayed lit and was just dry enough.

Probably wouldn't send for it again but wouldn't turn it down either.
