Honey Cured.... Pipe?

[sablebrush52]

Coating with a mixture of ash and honey to created a coating has been around forever. Yello-Boles were given that coating as a selling point

How do you smoke "gently"?

Very slow sipping. Keeping the tobacco barely simmering, on the edge of going out. Which is how you get the best flavors anyway.

For me, smoking gently would mean keeping the bowl as cool as possible with out too many relights.

I've tried honey and watered down honey but I found it created a soft false cake that chipped off easily.

Yes, honey is messy. It's the sugars in it that carbonize and help jump start a cake. But coating with just sugar is faster, less messy and has more carbs per ounce than honey. In any event, neither is necessary.

Too thick a film will do that. A small dot of honey on a fingertip is enough to do an average size chamber with little to no clean-up afterwards. No chipping with mine.
