Sugar is an important consideration for those making tobacco into something to be smoked. Many different sugars are available to choose from. Like anything it can be something that can be tweaked to create a unique effect.
Honey has long been known to contain valuable properties other than simply as a sweetening agent. While I do not want to list them all here, I will make a short point.
Bees concentrate the nectar from flowers, evaporate the water and thereby make honey. Wild honey is usually a mixture of different plants, but can be from a single plant in bloom, if that is the only flowering plant in an area that the bees are working. Plants themselves are known to have different medicinal and other effects. Bee honey of a single plant species is just the concentrated nectar of that plant, mixed with some beeness, and is also often holding the same medicinal properties of that plant.
Today we are able to source varietal/gourmet honeys from all over the globe and have it delivered to our door. In addition to the different flavor profiles, we may also be adding some other characteristics to our smoke, if we should choose to use it in our tobacco curing or flavoring process.
Some Honeys I am considering for next years crop: Leatherwood Honey from Tasmania, Star Thistle Honey from Colorado, Black Sage Honey from California.
I wonder if we could get Tobacco Honey?
