Two other peppers commonly used for their flavor are pasilla and mulato.  I
really like their flavor and also use them to make mole.

Here are some recipes I had saved.

>1. Break up the New Mexico, chipotle, and mulato chiles. Toast the chiles in
>small batches on an ungreased skillet, or comal over medium heat until they
>just begin to release their aroma. Do not let them darken or the may become
>bitter.
>2. Toast the cumin, coriander, and cloves on an ungreased skillet, or comal
>over low heat until they release their fragrance and become lightly roasted,
>about three minutes.
>3. Grind the toasted spices and celery seed (best to use a spice grinder).
>4. Grind the chiles in a spice grinder or food processor.
>5. Mix the ground chiles, spices, and ground cayenne. This receipe is an
>adaptation of one appearing in "New Southwestern Cooking" by Dille &
>Belsinger. Since I never have the chiles called for in the receipe, I
>invariably "wing it." The spices seem to be the important factor so
>substituting different chiles doesn't make a major difference in the
>finished product.
