Considering Bumbo, and spicing rums in general, what would you consider to be worthwhile spices? What ones would you consider "must have" spices?

Vanilla
Nutmeg
Allspice
Mace ???
Star Anise

What else? I'm forgetting important stuff I'm sure....

as I experiment more, I'll post my opinons on what I like together, but I'll take your source spice list and add to it:

Vanilla
Nutmeg
Allspice
Mace
Star Anise
Ceylon Cinnamon
Cardamom
Cloves
Ginger
Orange zest
Lime zest

Though I read through the (primary source and reference lacking) internet that an orginal mix is but allspice and nutmeg.

NOTE: (not that I'd suggest all those are used at once, but that's a list I would draw from)
