I have several, but I'll list rum at the top of my list.
If you prefer blends with more than one topping, e.g. caramel and vanilla, count combos as your favorite as well.

I've yet to try a rum-topped aromatic. Which do you recommend (that might also be available in UK)?
My favourite, so far would be orange or a combination of orange/vanilla. I LOVE Cube, but I haven't a clue what it's coated in.

In the UK, Try Gawith & Hoggarth Rum Twist, Rum Flake, Brown Twist Sweet Rum, Nessmuk Navy Flake and the Plug version. G&H makes other rum products, too. The rum in Sam Gawith Navy Flake is lightly applied, but it's a good blend. MacBaren's Navy Flake has very little rum. |

I would have to say molasses/cocoa, on a nice nutty Burley would be my favorite.

I really enjoy GLP "The Virginia Cream" and the subtle Vanilla/Bourbon flavor. Overall though the Danish style Honey flavored tobaccos such as Macbaren uses is an all time favorite aromatic.

I DO have Connoisseur's Choice which apparently has rum in it, but I can't smell it. |

I infuse H&H Egg Nog with a nice Nicaraguan Rum. That one has to be my favorite.

I tend to gravitate to the vanilla and caramel flavors and the nut based flavors e.g. hazel nut and almond . Liqueur flavor would be amaretto and I also enjoy large stone fruit toppings at times. I made a "Mounds Bar" blend made from chocolate and coconut flavorings that was a burley based blend although it needs adjusted a bit.

Some good ones listed here. I'd go with rum, anise, tonquin and deer tongue.

I'd probably have to say the chocolate-vanilla combo because it's in two of my favorite aros - Piper's Pleasure, and McTruffle. Love the tonquin, rum, bourbon etc., too.

My favorite has a honey-vanilla flavoring. Then I take a stave from FMC, soak it in rum and add it to the canister.
Few things can't be improved by the addition of rum.

I really like the Cherry/Chocolate flavors I get from Cult Blood Red Moon. I also like Vanilla and Caramel from blends like Molto Dolce and Vanilla Custard. I recently tried a tin of John Aylesbury Dragon Flake that has some nice Vanilla and Caramel flavors. I guess I lean towards Vanilla and Caramel mostly. I am very new to aromatics so I am still experimenting a bit.
I have a few rum flavored blends in my cellar, Fribourg & Treyer Special Brown Flake, Rotary Navy Cut and GL Pease Navigator. I didn't buy them for the rum flavor. I bought them because they sounded interesting. I have yet to really taste Rum in them, I taste sweet tobacco flavors. My taster is not refined enough to pick out Rum flavoring in these blends.

Vanilla is the big Magilla and Chocolate close behind in terms of frequency of use.

For the first seven years, I smoked Captain Black (original) almost exclusively. Once in a while I smoked Barclay Rex's Barclay Rum.
Presently, I rarely, if ever smoke aromatics. Lately, I've incorporated GLP Barbary Coast (rum) into the rotation. It took a few smokes to become cquainted to, and I'm beginning to like it. However, I don't like it enough to purchase anymore.
I also smoke Peretti no. 333 and C&D Crooner, once in a while. While deer tongue is an herb, I enjoy its vanilla-like flavouring. They are not part of 'the rotation', I have made multiple purchases.

A couple of my favorites come to mind - the treacle I pick up from Stonehaven and the warm vanilla from Paul's Pipe Shop Arrowhead.

I am currently curious about Vauen: Bavarian Blend, enhanced with hops, malt and vanilla. That's a combo you don't see everyday.
