Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter. Blend until it's all sandy with a lot of water. Powder this mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake 8 minutes and set aside.
Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl
Make the Cheesecake Filling
Blend the cream cheese until smooth. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir in eggs one after another. Add sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and honey. Do not mix too thoroughly mix one is after a smooth, yet airy filling.
Layer the Cheesecake
Pour half of the cheesecake filling on the crust. Pour half of the cinnamon swirl mixture, drizzling over. Swirl it in using a knife or a skewer, add the remaining filling material, and then the remaining swirl mixture. Make swirls of light on top, pretty.
Bake the Cheesecake
Put the pan into a larger baking pan. Add hot water to the outer dish that is halfway up the sides. Bake 5570 minutes or until the center shakes a little. Do not overbake.
Switch off the oven, open the door, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
