Other than the obvious menthol... I'd probably start with molasses or brown sugar. Maybe clove. Various woods? Elderflower might work with the right tobacco... Really, why not just... paging /u/chemicalburnvictim

Probably just easier to link to the additive FOTW.

Personally, I really like bourbon and the wood stuff with them. I hardly ever use caramel or vanilla.

Yeah, I was kinda waiting for someone to say their favorite thing to mix with a tobacco is RY4.

I've subbed RF Molasses SC for TFA Brown Sugar in Ckemist's Southern Smoke recipe and it turned out well. Use about 1/2 as much as you would for Brown Sugar.

I'm using it a simple rum and maple recipe today, something like:
FLV Cured Tobacco 2.5%
FLV Red Burley 1%
FA Maple Syrup 3%
MB Captain Rum 1.5%
RF Molasses SC 0.5%

I tend to stay away from tobaccos normally, but that does sound intriguing. MB Captain Rum? Would that be spiced rum flavor, by any chance? I should look for that one...

It's more of an amber rum taste, at least to my palate. I tested several rum flavors looking for one to use for a Cuba Libre recipe and found the MB Captain.

I'll try most any flavor with tobacco. I really like peanut butter and banana, spices, apple, peach, blueberry, and raspberry. Haven't tried all of u/ID10-T's suggestions but just added them to the list. I'm steeping a mix of FA Fuji, CAP Cinnamon danish swirl and INW Black for Pipe right now.

A couple of my favorite things to add are a tiny bit of hazelnut (cap or FW) and/or a very small amount of coffee (FA or hangsen espresso).
