The Virginias provide some citrus, earth and grass, along with light dark fruit. The sugary black cavendish is in-between being a condiment and supporting player. Generally, I find hazelnut toppings to be light in effect, but this does tone down the tobaccos a little in spite of its lack of richness. A couple of times, I noticed a slight chemical note. It’s slightly syrupy, too. The strength is mild, while the taste level just passes that mark, but both recede a tad in the last quarter of the experience. Hardly has any nicotine. Won’t bite or get harsh, and has a touch of creaminess. Burns cool and clean at a reasonable pace with a mostly consistent sweet flavor that dulls at the finish. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a very pleasant, short lived after taste and room note. An all day smoke. One and a half stars.

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.
