I'm impressed by the sheer level of passionate debate surrounding the proper use of an item whose utility was essentially supplanted by the invention of commercial toilet paper. Bravo, gentlemen!

You filthy pipe smokin’ hippie you. That’s ok. That’s alright. I got something to fix that for ya, Sherm. Honey Lickin Rat Bastard. ??
So, I tried it once on a Country Gentleman just out of curiosity. I swabbed the interior with honey - it took months to dry so it wasn't tacky. So long I gave up and tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it for who knows how long. Do people smoke them tacky? Anyway, it did taste nice when I finally tried it - had a clear honey taste. I wouldn't do it again though. I've used maple syrup and activated charcoal on briars for bowl coating that dried in 2 days. Maybe maple syrup would work better?
This cob post is going for the record on the cob subject, so I'll just mention that I like the special edition cobs with acrylic stems, a little more expensive but you don't chew through the bit. And hold the honey please.
I'm not about to go and read every post, but I am curious... why just honey? You could just as well add maple syrup for your breakfast pipe. Add a fruit jelly to go along with an aromatic; cherry jelly and some Middleton. Or, any number of sugar goops would work just as well.
I'll settle this real quick. Briar is superior to cobs in every way! Honey soaked or virgin! God bless America for bringing competition to a tried and true burl, and from a Dutch immigrant at that! Happy Smoking!
Yes, I actually prefer Maple Syrup over Honey. - Sherm Natman
One days, or at the max, two days drying time is all that is needed. You should want to thoroughly wet your finger first with tap water, then, apply the drop of honey or syrup to your finger before applying inside the bowl; thereby cutting the viscosity - and the drying time - considerably. - Sherm Natman
Maple syrup and Granger for the blueberry pancake flavor?
Ketchup for the "red" Virginias?
I use hot sauce pipes for my perique blends.. Taste great and helps build cake. I could just smoke it and let the cake build naturally, but I don't.
Interestingly I read an article last evening that suggested honey to prevent "burn out" and not allowing cake to form in a cob. It was a balanced read and the author mentioned that YMMV.
I read people say they won't smoke a vegetable, but they will smoke a root?
Maybe someone should try soaking a cob in cool aid, couldn't be any worst than that grape "vapor" I keep smelling around town.
