Good, not great. Definitely a very heavy smoking experience. That being said, it doesn't necessarily overpower your palate. I thought it lacked a little sweetness. I couldn't quite place the flavor notes, but there is a light peppery note, coffee, and something that seems like pretzels. That's not a flavor note I've ever heard before, so I could be wrong. Not at all off-putting, but not really in my wheel house.
