The cold draw is very smokey, with a little pepper.
The first third I'm leaning toward not liking it. The woodsmoke flavor overpowers everything, even what I was drinking! There were some hints of black pepper. In true DE fashion, the thing produces a lot of smoke. The burn isn't perfect, but correcting itself pretty well.
Second third, the woodsmoke backed down and the pepper came in to balance. The retro was still very campfire, at this point I considered starting to like it. The burn is a little ragged, but not enough to correct.
Final third, it picked up a creaminess. Wood smoke faded to the background, pepper is now in balance with a little honey and light leather. Retrohale is smooth for the first time, and it's complex and very nice. I did have to correct the burn once. i let it go out at about the 3/4" mark. I'll smoke another one in a month to see how settle in.

In full disclosure, these only sat in my humi for two days and that is the only one I've had. Burn may improve and the wood smoke may mellow. Time will tell.
If I based a repeat purchase on the first half, I'd be reluctant. Best analogy: It's an Acid with woodsmoke instead of crazy hippy spices. It's like they dipped the thing in liquid smoke.
If I based a repeat purchase on the last half, I would likely buy again. It did balance out with some good complexity and the retro was a treat.
YMMV

Don't keep them in your reg humi! That was per Drew estate...kind of like an acid I guess with the smoke flavor
