[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 405478, member: 1387"] Some smokers new to pipe smoking will assume that a pipe filter functions similarly to a filter in a cigarette. The pipe filters primary role however, is to collect excess moisture generated from the burning process. If you really want the best of both worlds, get yourself a briar or meerschaum pipe with a bamboo stem. The bamboo does an excellent job of absorbing excess moisture, while still allowing the smoker to run a pipe cleaner through the pipe mid smoke. There are other reasons to run a pipe cleaner thru your pipe mid smoke, other than an attempt to collect excess moisture, and your tobacco getting gunked up at the draft hole is one of them. This is one of the major reasons I tend to smoke filterless pipes, but like Kyle I use them in some of my cobs. [/QUOTE]
