The review from Chris is correct. This produce is not the Wessex blend which is flavored with cider. That blend is Wessex Brigade original Fragrant Virginia. Silver tin.

Not the right product

Product: Wessex Brigade Original Virginia 50g

I ordered this product listed as "Brigade Original Virginia" which was described as flavored with cider. I tried it in August 22, and found it very starchy, and couldn't tell what in the world anyone was tasting as cider. I put it away for a year and came back to it in July 23. Then, it had become a pretty good, straightforward, red Virginia. Still no trace of cider. I did some research and found that the product I was sent was exactly what was pictured- Wessex Brigade Classic Virginia, which does not mention cider on the tin. I found and ordered on another website the product I expected, which is Wessex Original Fragrant Virginia, on which the tin description notes the cider flavor. That product is pretty good, a Virginia and Cavendish blend, sticky, sweet, natural tasting and a bit hot burning, slightly aromatic. I contacted Smokingpipes and noted the error, but the listing hasn't changed, so I 'm submitting this review as a warning that the product listing is incorrect. If it comes back in stock and the listing is corrected, I'll edit to change to 3 stars, since the Classic Virginia is a pretty good red Virginia, but only after a year of aging....Read More

Familiar....

This tastes and smokes like the Old Benson & Hedges mellow virginia. Soft, tangy, sweet, pleasant aroma, cool. It's a bit one dimensional but a solid smoke no doubt.

Excellent fragrant Virginia

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....Read More

Very nice, slightly aromatic Virginia

I really enjoy this blend--nice, bready Virginia with some tang and a nice, faint cider/apple note. Not too aromatic.
