I have vintage cast iron that came sand blasted from the factory so it's already smooth.

That process costs money though, so lodge doesn't give a fuck about that and they just give it to you with all the casting imperfections right there on the surface of the pan cause fuck needing to be actually non-stick.

I like my cast iron to actually be non-stick though, so I wouldn't touch modern lodge shit.

But if I WERE to buy a modern lodge, i'd sand it down for sure, takes just a few minutes with a small orbital sander.
pic related is what your cast iron probably looks like.
