Tyler Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've gotten 4 PMs and a lot of chat questions on Pomberry and since HJ said he was awaiting my review I figured I'd put it in a more public place first then move it to the review section. [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/wu5baa.jpg[/IMG] This is Pomberry, it shows a pomegranate and a blueberry on the picture. The smell is similar to that of blue mist, minus the menthol after taste but instead with a strong fruit aftertaste. The taste is exactly like it smells but the Pomegranate-like taste is more pronounced. The tobacco itself has red dye on it so those with aversions to that, sorry. I personally love this flavor and I don't like blue mist and as John said before, I could see this replacing SB's main flavor of "blue mist." Also, I noticed the O is a <3 like it is on the Pom drink, maybe there's a connection there? Final thoughts: 10/10. Perfect fruit flavor that isn't a sweet fruit flavor but still easily identified as a fruit flavor -- think of a grape-flavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hm, this is a coincidence, I think.... I JUST got some Great Value ice cream from Wal-Mart that is blueberry pomegranate.... If this taste anything like the ice cream, then I'm definitely gonna have to pick this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Is this a new flavor or just a mix of their pomegranate and blueberry, because if its solely a mix i will def. pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 It's something more than a mere mix, I tried mixing Pomegranate and Blueberry at the bar last night and it didn't taste the same at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a question of whether or not my local shop has it. If they don't, I can do without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i can bring up points for you to buy this online, and will say this for other vendors so that i don't come off as advertising in the wrong section, there are forums promocodes that some of us vendors have and in addition when you buy from state to state you don't have to pay your local sales tax. this may balance out buying locally for a few bucks less. yes, there are shipping charges but you also have to drive to your local place which may or may not have it yet. not trying to sell you here but pointing out some factors that may lead you to still save some money and get what you want either route you choose.

[/quote]thanks tyler for writing this up since you were the first order on this, i am pretty sure anywhere as it was released the day you bought it. i agree with all of what you said but needed you, a nonvendor to say it. i have had it twice so far and i like it, i think i may be trying more sb flavs soon as well, i just want them to continue bringing new flavors. code 69 was ok but not wow. btw, by coincidence we have a pomm berry drink (just juice, no alcohol)in the fridge right now, too tired to see if they are similar tastes though.

Tyler Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah I went to the hookah bar to do some reading and got a Pomegranate Blueberry mix and it's definately not a pre-mixed flavor for those of you who wondered. And Jay, it's not a "Blue" minus the "mist," it's hard to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I completely understand your points John and for the most part I think your prices are pretty unbeatable especially for local stores that tend to mark up products like hookahs, accessories, and coals. Your prices for SB also seem pretty much inline, if not slightly better, then most other online vendors. I just don't think paying a little extra for a flavor Im not sure if I'm even gonna like is worth it. I'll probably be ordering a new phunnel soon though and some other random things so maybe I'll try a tin then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_T Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Not a big fan of the SB I've tried so far, but after hearing this I may bite the bullet and pick some up with the next order. Could be good mixed with some nakhla zag. or tangiers pomegranate if you want a "stronger" smoke I'd imagine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
