[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 405606, member: 1969"] The whole "keep it simple" standard is something I prefer to hand over as advice to newbies. Adding/accepting extras, gadgets, gimmicks and the like (the list is vast in pipeland) seem to complicate and lengthen the time it takes for tobacco to be found, pipes learned to be smoked... ...if some years down the road one says, "...wow, I really need a (insert pipe "innovation" here)..." ...that would be a good time to start adding-to the piping experience. One good thing a filtered pipe, smoked filterless, has going for it is they usually are more open-draw to compensate for the purposeful obstruction of a filter--cobs being a good example. Careful packing and practice can make nearly any pipe with an open draw smoke decently, but a restricted draw is something of a headache. Savinelli pipes are a go-to for one buddy of mine here locally, and he omits the balsa/triangle filters altogether. He finds Savinelli to be just perfect the way they are filterless. They're all he smokes. Dutch, no sweat, man--I'm no mathematician even in regard to pipes. The more things I add, the less correct answers I get. :lol: 8) [/QUOTE]
