[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 571131, member: 1211"] I haven't had one of these that smoked hot, but the lacquer almost never wears evenly. One of my favorite brands --which will remain nameless-- had some lacquer finished pipes at some limited period in their history. I've never found an answer why, and I've stopped asking for one. I haven't liked the way they've looked more than a smoking issue, because they've smoked on par with the non-lacquered pipes. I can definitely see the theory though. You might be able to rub it off with soap and water (back to the washing issue, but alas). The lacquer Dr.Grabow used was better than most car lacquers, but otherwise, I've noticed pipe lacquer is pretty weak stuff. You might not be forced into sanding if you're willing to try other things. If not washing, even a little Windex might rub it off. [/QUOTE]
