Guys, I just lit up my fairly new grabow. I've noticed in the past it smokes hot well today. The clear finish started bubbling off. It is a defective finish just my technique. Has anyone ever had a savoy with this issue in the past. I haven't smoked it more than a dozen times yet.

There could be several reasons for this issue.

One that comes immediately to mind is that you may be smoking it too aggressively.

You might just need to slow down.
A picture of the problem might be of help in eliciting some opinions on the cause and some possible remedies.

Had something similar happen to me to with a basket pipe i bought. I ended up stripping off the finsh then polishing the wood with Paragon wax. The pipe now looks better than when i bought it and no bubbles.
