Wessex Original Fragrant Virginia is an excellent Wessex tobacco. Accurately stated as “Naturally aromatic pipe tobacco flavoured with traditional West Country Cider”. Tin purchased May 2019 from SmokingPipes SC USA, smoked fresh from the tin. Rich and mellow, this appears to be a golden/brown Virginia tobacco, thickish ribbon cut/rough shredded in the Wessex style. Lovely feel and texture, slightly damp on opening with a fragrant cider topping. I don’t see any black cavendish as a separate tobacco. I personally take a quantity from the tin and leave it to dry slightly for a day in an open dish and smoke it over a three-day period ..just right. Made in Germany. Very rewarding. Medium nicotine. Highly recommended.

A great smoke for the winter time. The cider topping is quite light. It is detectable though. In the retrohale you should catch just a faint hint of sweet cider. The cavendish is sweet. The virginias provide a very solid base tobacco for this blend. 8.6/10
