[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 241770, member: 2318"] I'm a Sav fan, and I've smoked 'em with the balsa filters, with adaptor only and went bare. If I didn't know which configuration I was smoking, I probably couldn't tell you from the smoking experience. I doubt it does any damage to the pipe to discard the filter. On the other hand, the variables of smoking style and goopiness of tobacco could make a differnce for individual smokers. Here's a funny Sav filter experience -- I was being seriously called by a Sav Artisan on a Web site and phoned to ask if the pipe passed the pipe cleaner test. "Unfortunately, no," came the answer. I was in a serious quandry -- a straight pipe that cost that much had no excuse for stopping a cleaner. ButI was so smtten that I made my first ever exception. Something was just saying, "Go for it." When the pipe arrived I tried the test myself. The cleaner stopped. Hmmm, it stopped right by the spot the filter would end. I took out the stem -- yep, the filter was in it! -- took out the filter, reassembled ... and the cleaner slipped right through, no problem :) I think there must be some left brain / right brain moral to this.
