Well, I finally got my Offroad LE in. I suppose I'll just edit this as I go through them, but for now, I'll speak of the moonshine flavour. To put it simply, it's okay. Not as bad as I thought it would be based on the smell/general discussions of it on here. It's just not as good as the rest of the flavours.
When you open it up, you're hit with the unmistakable odour of rubbing alcohol. Pop it it, and it tastes somewhat like vodka with a hint of a sweet melon, a honeydew or some such fruit. It's only a hint however, and I feel like if I really wanted to taste vodka and snus at the same time, I'd toss in a pris of Ettans and take some shots. The portion is nice and comfortable in your mouth, and it doesn't drip that bad. Still, I'm pretty sure I'll find that my last can from the tube is a can of the moonshine flavour. The others have a much stronger and pleasant scent to them, and taste better to me as well. It's good, but I suppose you could consider it the runt of the litter.
Okay, to finally come back to this, there's the Mandarin flavour. It smells like Sunkist orange soda to me, which isn't really a bad thing. It's got the taste about as right as you can expect it to be, but stays to the sweet side of oranges. There's really no sour or acidic notes to it, and that's perfectly fine by me. The flavour lasts for quite a while, and the portions are once again quite comfortable. Once the seal is broken, you can smell this one when the can is closed. -
I've been snusing Mango Creme since yesterday. It does taste and smell exactly how I would imagine Mango Creme snus should be. Its a flowery, nectary, vanilla-like flavor. Thats about the best I can describe it.
It could easily be an everyday snus if you enjoy the flavor, it's nowhere as... unusual as the Moonshine snus is.Comment

I've gotten a few of these too but I'm put off by all of them so far. I've tried Apple and Mandarin so far but they've both had this minty flavor that quickly became too much to handle and I had to spit them out after five minutes or so.
Are they all like this? I haven't opened the Mango Cream and the Moonshine yet and I'd prefer to keep them sealed if they have that same characteristic and I'd give them for a trade. I cracked the seal on the original so I could smell them but I haven't tried one yet.Comment

The Mango and Moonshine shouldn't have any kind of minty flavor. They didn't in mine. I can't say for the Mandarin. The chocolate raspberry, which I'm using right now, doesn't either.
This Choc Rasp is really good, though I'm not getting any distinct chocolate flavor other than the usual "darkness" of tobacco. The raspberry flavor is very identifiable. Overall, the flavor is very weak, though. Not as big as Moonshine or the Mango.Comment

OMG Sweet Clove is amazing!!!! I gotta order a roll of this stuff before it's gone. I'm gonna end up like PP staring a poll begging V2 to bring this stuff back!Comment

I've got the Choco/Rasp on order, maybe I should have gotten the sweet clove instead?!Comment

OMG it's so good. I loved smoking cloves, and V2 nailed it.Comment

Of the 5 flavors, I only really liked the Moonshine. How weird is that? It had a good taste to me but probably wouldn't order any more of it just because other than Thunder Frosted ES and maybe LD Black, I don't care for any flavored snus. Just wasn't expecting to like it the best. Mandarin is the only that had a bad taste to me. I liked them in the following order.
1. Moonshine
2. Sweet Clove
3. Chocolate Raspberry
4. Mango Cream
5. Mandarin
I have one of each of 2 thru 4 over at the exchange. Y'all let me know if anyone is interested in a swap.Comment

MMMMmmmm
Chocolate Rasp is wonderful.
Everything I wanted.
I am in heaven. I hope I can get another can before they are gone. I feel the way Veganpunk does w/ this about the sweet clove!!!Comment

So far I love them all. The only one I haven't tried is Moonshine, but I have some coming to me. The Choc-Raspberry reminds me of something from my childhood that I can't quite place. :?Comment

I recently got a can of Mandarine. Well, right off, I thought this would have a heavy sweetness to it, and it doesn't, which is good to me. It does have a coolness to it, to me, like maybe it has some menthol stuck in the blend, sorta like how Thunder Blue has that cool aspect. Taste is orangey, not heavy, subtle. It's OK. Not bad at all. Not my preference, as I prefer non flavored, I prefer to call the non flavored snus, "seasoned". This is OK, can't really say more than that. I'll use it up, but it's not a rebuy for me.Comment

I got a free can of Offroad Sweet Clove with my last order and I have to say it's not too bad. The portion material is ultra soft and it definitely has a natural clove flavor to it. The nicotine hit and portion size seem about average to me. I would not use this as my regular snus but a can of this every 2-3 months with my orders would be nice.Comment

The only flavors in the 2009 Limited Edition that I like are the Choc-Raspberry and the Mandarin. The other three are Just. Simply. Foul. YMMV.Comment
