Is it like anything else? Can you tell what flavorings they use? Is it strong or mellow? Thanks for the heads up - looks like a cool site.
This stuff is hard for me to explain but I can say its not some cheap made juice there is some love in it. Both have a good in your face flavor, the Ry42 is on the sweet side great in the morning or after a meal and the s u carmel is on the spice side when its time to get that extra kick... its like they are ment to be togather. The tobacco in it is a mix with a perfect blend nothing to me is over powering. Not sure why but they paid 1 day express shipping for me to get this stuff.
The price is ok and I will order bigger bottles when they start.

LT,
The tobacco base in Moondrop's Straight Up line (Straight Up, Caramel, Apple Cider, Clove, and Menthol) is a natural extract made from macerated Bulgarian tobaccos. It gives each juice a caramel color with a slightly oily yellow-ish tint at the edges (making the juice appear almost green, which sounds awful but isn't). This oily tint reminds me strongly of Tobacco Absolute. I don't know if Moondrop uses any Absolute in their base flavoring, but I do know that at least one popular version of Tobacco Absolute is made from Bulgarian tobacco, so there are definite similarities. The juices don't taste like Absolute, however. For instance, I don't taste any ashiness at all in Moondrop tobaccos, and the end result is clearly unique, though difficult to describe.
The flavor is complex and earthy, with some elements that seem to combine floral and spicy. It is not, however, typically "flowery" or "perfumey." The taste is also not intense or overpowering (not "in your face," as some people might say), but it is substantial and solid, with a nice bite at 18mg. The overall flavor profile leans toward cigar with a slight nod to pipe tobacco, but not much, and nothing at all like the standard Dekang synthetic tobaccos. It's exotic in a way I find surprising and delicious.
Moondrops RY42---a stunning RY4-variant---uses a different natural tobacco extract than the Straight Up quintet, but the bases are more similar than different.
I've tried four of the six Moondrop tobaccos: RY42, Straight Up, Straight Up Caramel, and Straight Up Apple Cider. Although love affairs with new juices are notoriously fickle, my three weeks with these juices definitely qualify as a major infatuation. They're all great. Of the six, the one I'd most recommend to you is Straight Up Caramel. The Straight Up base is ever so slightly sweet, but mostly neutral, and the caramel adds just the right touch of extra sweetness on exhale. Yum.
Customer service is exemplary. When I placed my first order last month, shipment was delayed because of a glitch in their accounts software (my address was somehow missing from my account). The owner emailed me to get my address and apologize for the delay, and I emailed back to say that I understood about technical glitches and didn't blame anyone. He then included in my order a free 10ml bottle of juice and a complete 510 penstyle kit that sells on Moondrop's site for $20. That was $26 worth of freebies on an $23 order. To say that was generous is an understatement.
Moondrop recently improved their tobacco extracts and mixing procedure to minimize separation of particulates, and every previous customer during their short time online was emailed with the offer of a new batch of whatever juices they had ordered---for free! Again, that is above and beyond.
earthy really is not a word I like in my EJUICE, earthy juice I have tried was really gross to me so to me the earthy in moondrop juice is not there and thats a good thing
passerbyeus,
In an email exchange I had with the owner of Moondrop, I wrote that the Straight Up extract was hard to describe and asked him what flavor profile he was shooting for when he made the extract. He replied with the description, "earthy, very slightly floral, very slightly nutty." Exact quote.
Perhaps his use of "earthy" was more in the direction of "hearty" or "substantial." But "earthy" is what he wrote.
dream,
Moondrop offers no particular recommendation about base blend. They offer 100% and 75/25 in either direction, and also 50/50.
The bottles I've ordered have all been either 75/25 PG/VG or 50/50. I think I like the 50/50 a bit more.

Thanks for the replies... passer + Bill... looks like a winner... anyone brave enough to try the pickles? Maybe it's because I am under the weather, but that looks terrific ;-)

Hey dream, I ordered ry42 in 75pg25vg and mull cider and straight up caramel in 50/50 so if you have not ordered yet, I can send you those, maybe order others you want to try and we can swap?
straight up caramel in 50/50 is gooood stuff, I got more coming and the clove....
ok, i'll order dill pickle ry42, and caramel.
i'm on the fence about the straight up tobacco. is it outstanding on its own? or best mixed w/something else?
I'm ordering after reading everyone's posts...and I'm getting the pickles.
I have spoken to someone named Paul in emails from Moondrop seems to be a real nice guy or maybe not (hehehe) they are all about selling some great ejuice that everyone will enjoy.
