Nording finishes many of their pipes with some kind of a coating that I would never try to remove unless I had a belt sander. Sold them & would never but another.
Like plastic.
Just my opinion.

My Rossi Started bubbling on its first smoke. Irritated me so much. Took some acetone to the finish, and It became a magnificent smoker.

After that point, just nose oil rubbed on it to keep its shine.
