item
....
item
begin{enumerate}

Now, now and then I would like to have a different item label, something like:

You may be misusing (abusing?) the powers of the enumitem package. I think you'd be better off loading the amsmthm package and defining a numbered environment called claim and an unnumbered environment named comment.

documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsthm}
theoremstyle{definition} % use upright lettering
newtheorem{claim}{Claim}
newtheorem*{comment}{Comment}

begin{document}

begin{claim} 
bla bla bla 
end{claim}
begin{comment} 
ble ble ble 
end{comment}
begin{claim} 
bli bli bli 
end{claim}
end{document}
