I add any seasoning other than cure & Brown Sugar, after patting it dry, before going for the Pellicle.

Ditto on Bearcarver.  I get first-grind CBP from a local place and I put a hefty coat on before it goes in for the pellicle.

If you're interested in some other "mixes," try adding a little bit of corning spice to your dry/wet cure.  I'll add whole allspice sometimes and it comes out great!  I've also use rib rub and that hasn't been too bad.  I prefer plain ole' maple brown sugar cure.
