Notes: From the G&H Catalogue: A blend of the finest Virginias and black cavendish. A rich top-note of cocoa, vanilla & fresh fruits.
Aromatic mixture cased and top dressed to produce a round sweet aroma.

I bought a half kilo of this blend on the strength of the positive reviews here. Sadly, apart from the lovely aroma from the bag and the room note that even my partner enjoys, the blend is lacking both flavour, strength and sweetness. Indeed I might argue that it tastes of nothing. You are likely to get bitten in your endeavours to get some flavour from the bowl.
I tried a couple of packs of 7 Seas Royal a week or two back and although a very mild smoke, I found that far superior to this G&H American Delite Blend and I’ve ordered a further kilo or so of that, of which I’ll mix half with the Delite to make it smokeable.
Given both blends mentioned are something of a Lanes 1Q tribute, I’ve taken the liberty of ordering a pound of 1Q to compare with the fakes.
On the whole American Delite is very disappointing. I imagine the only people who’d get a kick from it are those who’ve never smoked before.

Bought some for my Lass to try. She's of the same opinion. Burnt toffee. That's it, Burnt Toffee, no fruitiness, no taste, no tobacco, no anything 'cept burnt toffee. Possibly the least appetizing 'baccy I have ever come across including Landtabak and some sort of Libyan junk I had when out thataway. Some folks may enjoy it. My Lass and I do not.
