Cornell & Diehl - Innsmouth (The Old Ones).
I'd had this in my stash for over a year but didn't feet the urge to pop it open until now! It's dated 12/07/17 so has a bit of age on it.
Although, as it says, the blend's a ribbon, my tin had one rather large piece of flake on the top. The aroma's quite stalwart, but there's a touch of natural sweetness in there, too. The moistness of mine couldn't be faulted.
The smoke has a fairly pertinacious flavour, but falls below the 'heady' mark. The Katerini's a formidable ingredient, and leads for the initial part. But, after a short while the Virginias calm the floral, incense, note, by giving notable sweetness and rich fruit to the smoke. The Perique offers some spice, being in third position, but any black Cavendish gets quite lost in the mix; for me. I've had an impeccable burn from every bowl, creating a mid-temperature, bite free, smoke.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: not great.
Innsmouth? A well put together smoke, but not something for my rotation. Albeit, 3 stars for quality:
Recommended.

This tobacco is a mystery to me. The tin note at the open was obvious Virginia. No fruit or honey subtle notes as discussed with others. The tobacco is ribbon cut and not moist, but just right for packing. It has a mild wood fire taste and aroma. It is a suspiciously mild smoke. It completely baffles me as it is neither strong, nor scented , nor flavored. The retro-hale reinforced that this is a mild blend of tobaccos with no attempt to introduce a top note casing. I can't call it an aromatic. The nicotine strength was apparent. It would actually make a good choice for cigarette rollers.... UPDATE.... This tobacco needs to 'open up' and after a few bowls I have come to really enjoy the smoke. I change my rating to 3 stars.

I’m a fan of Lovecrafts work and the work he inspired. Shadows over Insmouth is my favorite of his books and my recommendation to anyone looking to read their first Lovecraft. It’s fun to have a tobacco themed in this universe but was pleased with how great it was. Honestly a tobacco from a dying seaside Massachusetts town of fish people and rotting buildings should not taste this great!
