Diesel Rage by AJ Fernandez JULY23 (FEBW3)

This is cheapest in this bundle of 35 of all AJs fuller blends. Around 2.50 a stick. These have all been hit or miss but it cracks me up that the cheaper sticks in this bundle have overall been better.

First 3rd.

Got little teeth on this one, hard to pick up with the camera. Dark sugarless bitter cocoa nibs, tastes of leather at the get go that quickly fades. I recommend a punch with this one as it’s a pretty airy box press. It’s like a milkiness wants to come through, but this thing is just so dang dark.

Second 3rd

Gets creamier with the bitter nibs.
Definitely more full with hints of cedar as it transitions into the last 3rd.

Final 3rd

Seems to be the Nicaraguan sweetness,  main flavor is cedar sweetness.

They are definitely not my favorite but I'd say great for the price and when I need a good dog walker. I rate this as a great smoke, for in a bundle of 35 for $160, this smoke was decent. It's been funny that the "pricier" sticks in the bundle have been 50/50, (had to really dry box them) so far, but all the lower tier box pressed sticks have been consistent.

Great humidor defender, great dog walker. Amazing stick? No. But Great for what it is, and what I use it for.
