Premier

Premier is a ribbon-cut blend on the aromatic side of the Wessex series, also known according to records as the International Mixture. Black Cavendish is added to a Virginia base to provide sweetness and softness, topped with a measured flavor casing.

The smoke is soft, sweetish, and low in sharpness; nicotine stays on the light side. Since the casing intensity is limited compared to heavy aromatics, the tobacco flavor isn't entirely masked. It suits those seeking a middle ground between aromatic and unflavored blends, wanting a light, all-day-smokable tobacco.
