After Toast:
First third – Real strong woody earthy notes mixed with some nuts. Slight pepper on the back of the throat. Few minutes in a vanilla note becomes the predominant flavor. Burn is pristine. Ash is mid gray in color.
Second Third – A woody and citrus note take the stage with a zing of pepper that is light but present. Burn turned wavy.
Final Third – Flavors kept to the wood earth notes with a new note of espresso. Muddy flavors though not real distinct. Burn remained wavy.
Suggested Pairing:
Rye – Knob Creek Rye
Wine – Robert Mondavi Private Selection Chardonnay
Overall Experience:
This Diesel Rage is a medium plus bodied smoking experience. I thought the flavors were not as pronounced as they could have been and a little muddled. This could be because the draw was super tight which did not allow me to thoroughly enjoy this stick. Would I try it again if given to me, sure, but it is not something I would go out and search for on my own.
