Sillems Aromatics & Bite?

[badbriar]

Are Sillems aromatics known for a tendency to deliver any bite? Particularly Sillems Black & Linea Epoque Antique.

Sillem’s Black is not bitey but I really like the way it tastes so I tend to burn it a bit hot if I’m not paying attention

Sillem's Black is a fantastic blend, it does not bite.
I most prefer it in a beefy briar, so I always reach for my Peterson B42 when I'm in the mood for a bit 'o the Black.

I agree completely with @LotusEater and @DesertDan
Never known Sillem's Black (nor Sillem's Green - a very agreeble aromatic) to bite.

Can't say I've gotten burnt by Black. Blue and Red, maybe, but I can't recall being any worse than, say, Lane's BCA.

Exactly the same for me.

I smoked it for the first time last night. It did have a bit of a bite when I was getting the pipe lit. No bite after I settled into a cool, sipping smoke. Tasty and savory smoke.

It only bites if you smoke very fast.

the question of does it bite for a tobacco is just like for a dog. Does it have teeth? Does it burn? Then yes. The question is how easily does it bite. How bite prone is it.

The only Sillems blend I’ve smoked a lot of is Musketeer, and there is no bite at all.
