Consider using a colloquial grammar error to reflect the one in Russian. E.g. Can't be sure before I try it but I think it should be tasty and it'll be great if it don't irritate the throat or feel dry after smoking.

irritate


Explanation:
The whole phrase doesn't have a very Russian construction, instead of дереть the word драть should be used (similar to "rub" or "irritate" in this case)
