I just got an offroad strong cran portion and it's in a plastic can. Not sure if other offroads are metal, or if it's a los thing. As mentioned by lxskllr the Mocca is the only one I've ever ordered that's metal.
FYI Montecristo and Romeo and Julieta might not be orderable in the US - I've heard northerner will (cuban embargo). I've never tried, but I'm going to try on my next order.

Generally I'm a buysnus person, but maybe I'll make an exception and order those two from Northerner by themselves and see how it goes- what's the worst that could happen? The FBI could show up at my house and give me cavity searches looking for my cuban tobacco. I think the odds of that happening are acceptably low

Offroad Metal
I wouldn't be surprised if V2 (Offroad) is switching over to plastic. Metal tins are hugely expensive, and their volumes are too low to justify the expense of metal. After labor, the can is the most expensive part of a can of snus. The good stuff inside, even in the most highly regarded snus, is the cheapest piece of the pie.

also since snus goes bad if not sold quickly enough, that's another cost of the product itself.
if they wanted to, they could probably form a recycling program. tell their users to turn their tins in to be recycled. perhaps use them as coupons as discounts on future snus.
