[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 495787, member: 1690"] Why ruin what is in effect a slight reverse calabash chamber? I just control the draw by tamping pressure. I'm amazed by how well pipes designed for filters smoke without them, or anything else stuffed in the space. At least all mine do, Savinellis, an Il Ceppo, a Dr. Plumb, cobs, etc. But everyone has their preferences. That's mine. Is the pipe new? Yes, those bits can be really tight, but should loosen with use. When broken in, the fit becomes perfect in my experience. If you buy bits, get the bits the pipe came with. In other words, if the pipe had a filter, you want the bits for filter pipes, even if you don't use a filter. I'm pretty sure one won't fit the other. I buy them by the dozen. One of the advantages of a cob is that you can chew hell out of the bit and just toss it when it becomes silly looking. [/QUOTE]
