[QUOTE="Niblick, post: 571126, member: 4505"] I've read that some pipe restorers think that shellac/lacquered finish on any pipe tends to smoke hotter because it does not allow the briar to breath and thus makes them smoke hotter. They will strip the finish off and re stain it and wax it to their liking. The downside is that the shellac/lacquered finish helps to hide imperfections from the original manufacture so be ready to deal with some sand pits and fills. I believe the only finished pipes I may have and smoke in that type of finish is a couple of Peterson's in the Killinary line. I personally cannot say they smoke any hotter than any of my other pipes. When a pipe starts to smoke hot, I'll slow my cadence down. If the pipe goes out, I'll relight it 5-10 minutes later and pay a little more attention. [/QUOTE]
