Boswell Pipes & Tobacco No Bite DeLite

This is my favorite aromatic tobacco. The caramel taste is natural and almost feels like caramel belongs with tobacco. The smell is amazing and I get the same tootsie roll taste others have mentioned. The blend is not too sweet but still gives just the right amount of caramel flavor

By far one of the best aromatics I've ever tried and a new favorite with a permanent place in the rotation. Ordered a few oz's of the stuff from Bosewells (very nice people btw) and had my tobacco two days later... Damn they ship quickly.

First off I have to comment that the pouch aroma was detectable through the box it was shipped in. When I opened the bag a very very strong aroma of dark chocolate hit me. This is not 'kinda smells like chocolate' its smell its near exactly like a tootsie roll. The pouch aroma is intoxicating and will waft through any tiny gap in the zip lock seal.

The moisture content was a bit on the heavy-side in a very strange way. The tobacco isn't sticky nor is it sopping wet or juicy... This made me fear that despite their claims some crazy new humectant was used. I attempted to dry the tobacco out for 30 minutes under my desklamp as I do with every tobacco, but the stuff refused to dry out--- even a little. The stuff packed very well (another surprise, I expected the moisture to make an airtight seal) and lit even better. Makes me wonder what the heck they do to this baccy to make it act this way.

Not much flavor was to be had on lightup... Or second light.. Then after my first tamp (around the first 1/5th of the bowl) an amazing incense-ish, warm caramel, butterscotch and chocolate flavor came through. The stuff burned down at an average speed without the hint of needing a relight, even after letting it sit a minute. I taste some orientals, I think burley, spiced cavendish and perhaps the smallest trace amount of latakia.

This tobacco lives up to its name. NO bite and a delight! If I could recommend ONE tobacco to a beginner pipesmoker, this would be it.

Update--- After reaching the end of my 1/4lb bag this tobacco has lost most or all of its flavor. Now it is just like smoking warm air that turns to a sickly chemical taste near the end of the bowl. Another strange thing is that this stuff is as 'wet' as the day it got here over a month ago, that's a bit scary. If you like this stuff order in small batches, or maybe vacuum seal the stuff. As for me, I had a good run with this tobac, but the total lack of nicotine and the vanishing flavor makes me think I will only order in 1oz bags when I start missing the flavor.

Bag note super sweet coffee, coco, diced ribbon cut , Lots of black Cavendish. Very moist needed a bit of drying time. I am not sure where they came up with the name. The no bite part is correct at least. I found this tobacco fairly harsh at the start. there is a wisp of coco flavor . I don't really taste coffee but the forward is black Cavendish. with some chocolate notes. Very mild blend. Has a slight chemical aftertaste up to the 1/2 way point. I assume the crackling I hear in the bowl at the 1/2 way point are the Virginias stoving or the toppings? . Not much flavor in this blend overall. Nic hit is mild. doesn't burn too hot. Gets a bit better at the 3/4 mark I think as the Virginia start providing more flavor and it gets a bit sweeter. Not bad not great 3

-After several more bowls of this blend I have revised it up some though it remains a three star blend.

No Bite Delite is a good all around smoking experience for those who like very sweet tasting aromatics. Yet it has one nagging flaw that keeps me from really calling this a favorite of mine.

In the bag this blend smells of a port and dark chocolate reduction. Perhaps port flavored chocolate truffles. There's a little bit of a rancid note but that is likely due to brandy flavoring. It isn't displeasing, but it does give you the impression of fermentation. Fairly dark in color Virginia blend.

No bite, as the name suggests has very little tongue bite. A dry and cool smoking experience as well. The flavoring did come through fairly well in the taste of the tobacco. I would describe it as one of my favorite cocktails, a Manhattan. Flavors of whiskey. Spiciness of aromatic bitters. A hint of cherry. All with a very pronounced sugary sweetness that coats your palate for a good while afterwards. Overall a very nice aromatic blend that has gained more favor from me over time.

Lighting started off strong and I thought I would have no problems with relights. Yet halfway through it began to struggle and I had to relight despite constant puffing and tamping. It fairly quickly went out again. Probably a thirty minute smoke which is too short for my liking. This has remained the most significant drawback of this blend over time for me.

The room note was sweet and aromatic as you would expect. I got the caramel note right after puffing but it quickly vanishes. It is like caramelizing sugar in a pan rather than a caramel candy. A very light sweetness lingers for a good amount of time afterward.

I liked No Bite Delite. I might consider giving it another couple ounces and experiment with a different pipe to see if I can get it to stay lit. If it were not for that attribute I would be giving this blend four stars.

Wonderful blend with cocoa top note in bag, bowl, and room note.

This is a great morning coffee, end of day smoke, designated a regular upon first taste.

No bite or gurgle at any point; good, steady burn with no re-light required after charring / second lights.

Boswell provides excellent, friendly service, and fast shipping.

Highly recommend.

Update: Recently purchased a Butz-Choquin Amadeus churchwarden and chose this for the first smoke - completely, totally wonderful; a couple of lights, no bite or hint of gurgle, no bitterness at the end and very, very little dottle.

The smell in the bag and taste in the mouth is unmistakably tootsie roll. Or, rather, whatever natural thing tootsie roll is a shadow of. Unlike the vast majority of aromatics, it tastes exactly like it smells, which is a startling discovery you have to experience to believe.

Most tobaccos leave an aftertaste in my mouth that is less pleasant than the smoke itself was; well, not only does this tobacco not do that, it leaves my mouth feeling positively refreshed!

It lives up to its namesake, misting my tongue in a cool fog.

I purchased only 1 oz. and went through it quickly, so I did not experience the fading of flavor that others mentioned. Their experience does put a damper on my "delite," because I'd love to hold onto a good bit of this stuff long term, but take their word that I should not.

This is very easy on the tongue with lots of flavor. The chocolate seems to come out more than the caramel and vanilla, but they are all there, which creates one of the most unique aromatics I have ever tried. I just plain love it. I did not like their chocolate cream, but I love this because it is a lot more complex, rather than just being a straight blend of any one flavor.

No bite delight tastes and smells just like a tootsie roll. This is a very good aromatic that actually has taste. Midway through the bowl I get a dark carmel,creamy taste with a hint of latikia. This tobacco just tastes good and it will make you want to smoke another bowl right after you finish the first one.

this may be one of my favorite boswell blend. by far a all day smoke taste when lite and thru the bowl is a carmel,vanilla,mocca taste with what whould be a vanilla after taste when omi, a must have for a backy cache.
