[QUOTE="Stogiegila, post: 122270, member: 1350"] Very interesting and informative thread. I tend to like the balsa wood filters used in my Savinelli. While I don't use them for junk cleaning purposes, I like them for cutting down on moisture and cooling off the smoke. I don't have the benefit of heavily aged tobacco (hey, my tins are all of 2 days old :lol: ) so the moisture content is already up. I found a big difference using the filter. Perhaps this is why the Sav is my best smoking pipe. I also don't have that many pipes to allow them to soak with a pipe cleaner over night. Once they are cool I clean them out quickly so they can dry out for tomorrow :D I'm actually looking around for antoher Savinelli dry system or at least one that will take the balsa filters. As long as the price is right and the style\shape calls to me. I'm actually thinking, and I may be out in left field here, but could it be that bent pipes tend to accumulate more moisture than straight ones? Maybe its the way I hold the pipe but the bigger the bend, the more moisture I seem to accumulate. [/QUOTE]
