Crispy, unless it's wrapped around a beautiful piece of braised pork belly.

Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches: Now Less Smelly
Talking to my local (Seattle) barista when the news first came out, apparently they're not replacing the sandwiches until the new idea for savory breakfast food is ready (at the end of the summer she'd thought). So those sandwiches you saw are unlikely to be any less smelly than they were six months ago--we just won't see their replacement for another few months.

"You can get a better egg sandwich at any corner deli."
If you live somewhere that HAS corner delis. Our only breakfast options are a bad McD, Chick Fil A (gag), or Hardees. So we are VERRRRRY happy to have Starbucks' breakfast sandwiches!!!!!!!!!!

Starbucks' CEO is Howard Schultz, not Harold Shultz.

Though the sandwiches were "discontinued" several months ago, they weren't going to take them off the shelves until September (which I think had something to do with their fiscal year?).
As for changing the smell of the new sandwiches they say they will use "non-smelly" cheese and less butter on the eggs. The quote that got me was "The company may try to change the products enough to market them as distinct from the original sandwiches." so who knows what sandwich may show up! (FWIW-I'm a fan of the turkey bacon on whole wheat one).

First off, these sandwiches are not bad for what they are.
But the more important point is this: I am absolutely positive that the smell comes from the ovens, not the sandwiches themselves. I've noticed this in numerous branches that serve them. Yes, there's a meaty/cheesy smell, but it's mixed with a pronounced, acrid, metallic odor that smells like cooked cleaning solution. I can only describe it as an industrial smell, and I've smelled it in Starbucks on both coasts. The solution is to put a high powered vent over the ovens, not to nix the sandwiches.

If they want to serve egg sandwiches they should remodel their stores and put in grills. You can get a better egg sandwich at any corner deli.
