My wife tells me the room note of G&H Rum Flake is very nice. It has a nicotine kick, a bitter sweet dark chocolate and rum taste that mixes nicely with the true flavor of well aged Virginia and nutty and strong Burley.

Noth8ng new to add, but my first thoughts were Royal Yacht(get it while you can) and Peterson Perfect Plug.
Both have a sweetness that isn't overbearing, and plenty of nicotine.

Other than Royal Yacht, of course, and Cosmic's great advice about beefing up an aro with some strong Burley, you might try some Kendal Dark mixed with Five Brothers. It will smell like those old toasty tobaccos like Amsterdam or Drum Gold, and have enough Nicotine and Virginia sweetness for you.
Sweet usually means Virginias or aromatics, so you're right, of course, MSO489. I love Five Brothers. It enhances everything. But, as others have said here, the SG/GH method of crushing high potency Virginias produces a sweet smoke, especially after it caramelizes. I would have recommended Brown Twist Sliced but it is a bit stinky owing to being heavily dark fired ("smells like elephant farts," as someone around here said).
SG 1792 flake is strong and bold but the tonquin makes it sweet. Same can be said of Peterson's Irish flake with the anis or liquorice topping. Don't know about the roomnote though.
