| Wessex Premier is a very typical Danish aromatic. Blended from Virginias and black cavendish, the tobacco comes packed on the moist side; the appearance is of brown and black. The flavor of the blend stays pretty consistent through the bowl, providing a cool and surprisingly dry smoke. The taste is, to me, overly sweet, though I find that most Danish cavendish blends are too sweet. The hazelnut topnote is more apparent in the room note than in the taste, which really seems to have more of a sugary, vanilla flavor than hazelnut. As with many such blends, the cavendish portion of the blend is what drives the smoke. Many Danish cavendishes, however, are overpowering with the syrupy sweetness imparted by the processing of the tobacco. While the cavendish taste is definitely strong here, it's not so overwhelming as with some others. Fans of Danish cavendish should find this to be one of the better blends on the market. However, those who prefer natural tobaccos would most likely prefer to avoid this blend.

| Like the previous reviewer, I was woefully underwhelmed with Wessex "Premier", and I wasn't even expecting very much. The ingedients sounded like a viable hunch but this blend didn't seem "blended" at all, just tossed in the same tin. Though the tin aroma was powerful enough the taste was mostly of not-so-good cavendish interspersed with eruptions of possibly shoe polish. Very unpleasant and, obviously, no stars to Wessex for this concoction.

| Not a fantastic blend for me. It hits you like a mac truck when you open the tin. The casing is very strong. The tobacco is mottled with lights and darks.
It packs well but took quite some time to get it lit. The room note was nice so my wife says. I couldn't taste the casing very much while smoking. It was there but in the background. The tobacco was ok and I will finish the tin but I don't think I will get another.
