Was thinking about this while rabbit hunting today.After I pull the ham for pull pork,I can't taste the rub that I put on the ham.I always add more rub to the finish product.So why put the rub on & then smoke it?I don't see where this adds flavor to the ham.See what happens when I'm hunting,I start thinking about stuff?lol.

Are you talking a picnic or a ham proper?

Just speaking for myself here. I've found picnics to be a whole other animal. The few that I've smoked seem to take longer that butts that weigh significantly more than they do. Hence I don't smoke picnics any more.
More time in the smoke, the more the rub is diminished?
Now depending on the salt content of the rub, and how long it is left on before smoking, it could result in a different texture if not flavor?
A good experiment would be to do one picnic sans a rub, and the other with a rub. See how it turns out and go from there.

Mustard acts as "food glue." A thin layer of mustard will allow rub to stick to the meat much easier and not impart any mustard flavor to the meat and also create a thicker bark on the end product. Now, if you put a thick coat of mustard on, you might notice a mustard taste.
