1. A honeycomb body comprising:
a honeycomb core comprising an inlet face and an outlet face defining a honeycomb core length, an outer periphery defining a circumference, and a plurality of channel walls extending from the inlet face to the outlet face defining cell channels therebetween;
a peripheral skin layer on the outer periphery of the honeycomb core, the peripheral skin layer having a thickness in a range of from about 1 mm to about 3 mm, the peripheral skin layer thickness defining a midpoint and an outer surface; and
a continuous single fiber or bundle of fibers extending around the outer periphery and embedded between the midpoint and the outer surface of the peripheral skin layer.
