Boswell Pipes & Tobacco No Bite DeLite

This is a very nice blend. The flavor profile is not the common these days vanilla etc. This has more than a couple flavors going on. You don't see a lot of pipe tobacco these days doing the brandy vibe, but this is very nice. Mixed with the coffee and others it's provides a nice soft smoke and the quality of the tobacco used in it is head and shoulders better than most. It could certainly be an all day smoke if you so desire as it will not bite at all.

The tobacco is great but I would be remiss if that's all I talked about. But that's not all I'm going to talk about. Dan and Rachel are are simply nice people and folks that is not something to just be thrown out these days, they care and they love what they do. Please support them!

As far as aromatics go, this one might be at the top of my list. I’ve noticed I do seem to enjoy Boswell’s blends I’ve smoked for the most part, but there are a few samples I’ve received that don’t do much for me. This one...however...is delicious.

Chocolate is the first taste that comes to mind with this blend. I like mine to be dried out quite a bit before smoking. I find the burn and taste to be much better this way. It’s easier to sip on it rather than draw for the flavors. I’m have found that if you pull too hard on this, it gets a funky flavor. I do get some of the Carmel, but it’s well hidden behind the chocolate. Brandy? Don’t drink it so have no idea if that’s in here. If you plan to smoke wet, plan on a number of relights which, IMO, scorches the tobacco and flavor.

I’ve also discovered this one works better for me in a smaller pipe. Larger bowls tend to lose flavor on me a little more than halfway through the bowl - no matter how smoked. I also really enjoy this with a sweeter drink, cream soda Dr. Pepper is delightful with this blend.

I can smoke this one any time of day, so when I want to enjoy a sweet smoke I reach for this. I don’t smoke it every day, nor would I smoke it as an all day blend. I consider this one to be a treat, so maybe once a week or so. I also enjoy this with new pipe smokers as an introduction to what a great aromatic should be like. Good quality tobacco, excellent flavoring and a joy to smoke.

I will always have a steady supply of this on hand.

A very tasty aro. I definitely agree with the assessment that it tastes like a chocolate tootsie pop. I don’t get much caramel as the chocolate is the main star, but the tobacco is very present in the mix, too. Not overly sweet at all. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon back porch smoke with a cup of coffee. IMO the Boswells make the best aromatics today. If you’re looking for a tobacco forward aromatic with a chocolate twist, give this one a try. A very smooth and creamy smoke that lives up to the name with ....no bite!

this review is just to keep track for myself mainly, less intended as a serious in depth review. Just to keep an eye of what ive tried and what I like, with quick notes about it. alot of these notes are from memory, and I will update the review as I continue smoking them.

this was one of my more liked bosewells aromatics. prob my fav out of the bunch, still very mild, but got more chocolate/something else out of this then the chocolate cream. decent blend, very "likable" for most

EDIT: I felt my No Bite DeLite review deserved an update now that I've smoked it multiple times and have had a chance to live with it. I have a much higher appreciation for the flavor of this tobacco. When I want a cool, full flavored smoke with no hassle - I go to this tobacco. It's one of those that will never let you down.

I'm bumping up to highly recommend with the only caveat being I still don't like the tin note. My wife also knows the moment I open it as it's so strong and distinctly musty.

With Boswell, I'm always looking to try new blends. I haven't found a bad one yet. No Bite Delite was one of the highest rated so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Immediately, I can say it lives up to it's name. I dried it out overnight and it was still somewhat moist. It took some extra effort to get the char light but smokes like a train there after. I typically smoke on the hot side, just a curse I live with, and I smoked NBD HOT. No bite and full flavor. This is the perfect blend for new pipe smokers and those who struggle with smoking hot or getting good flavor out of their tobacco.

The flavor isn't my favorite, it's a bit musty and pungeant for my taste. Drying out it also filled my kitchen with a somewhat unpleasant smell. But it's hard to complain with the results and would recommend this to any aromatic fan.

Do you like heavy aromatics? No problem, this is your blend. Do you like complex tobacco taste? No problem, this is your blend. Boswell absolutely hit it out of the park with this one. The taste itself is mostly one of chocolate, but if you pay attention you can get the taste of brandy to edge out to the front, with a surprisingly salty caramel in a noticeable supporting role. Those who desire tobacco flavor will get notes out of the virginias if you look for them. Leaves a bit of moisture in the stem, but makes up for it with lots of smoke and a paper-white ash. Very well balanced blend, and at the time of this writing, one of my favorites.

There was certainly no bite here (or in any of their Aromatics), just a bag of goopy Cavendish that (to me) smelled of chocolate. Not milk chocolate, but rather chocolate being made (stop by Burlington WI for Chocolate Fest) with a kind of bitter dark chocolate aroma. Even the room smelled of hot cocoa, so imagine my surprise when I saw it was flavored with brandy, caramel, and coffee. Folks, it may be time for this reviewer to retire as my nose must be broken!

Anywho, the bag certainly gives off a powerful vapor (I guess the advertised flavors might be here), but damn if it ain't chocolate. The sticky mix won't dry out, no matter how long it's left out, but no matter, it burns exceptionally well. The smoke was deep and pleasant without being sugary, though my saliva was sweet afterwards.

Note: The listing says this is a cube cut (which it may of once been), but this was certainly a ribbon.

No Bile DeLite was a very easy smoking Aromatic that fills the room with delicious incense, but dang does the bag stink until then. If you are not an ardent Aromatic fan, you will likely consider this an overly topped kids blend.

I Order this blend because all the Boswell blends are greate. Only this one is not as good in my opinion for a aro blend. It smels fantastic thats for shure, but after light your pipe with it the taste is not a sweet as it smels. Realy a little dull and simple. After relight your pipe the taste is even worst. Roomnote is ok , also no bite at all. For a more aromatic choose the Chrismas blend.

No bite delight....Humm....I think I would have to go with "just not right delight". Don't get me wrong it is good but darn it Dan it could be so much better. I am left wanting much more of that great chocolate coffee flavor and it just falls short. As usual for all Boswell blends an outstanding tin note and a pleasing room note just not a strong enough taste. This is a good blend just not a great blend. Even smoked in a wonderful Boswell pipe but just could not squeeze enough taste to make me want to buy another tin.
