[QUOTE="EC Outlaw, post: 228098, member: 2103"] While I don't often post on this topic, here's a few more thoughts for your consideration. I own both balsa and charcoal type filter pipes, as well as non-filter pipes. When I find a tobacco that is very difficult to dry to the moisture content that I would like, I will go to a balsa-type filter pipe to tone down the moisture which can appear as tongue-burn (some might call it bite). If a tobacco is much stronger in nicotine than I care for, I will go to a charcoal-type filter pipe, as the filter absorbs a decent amount of the nicotine in the blend. As to the comments that filter pipes are more difficult to keep clean because of the enlarged bore in the pipe shank due to the filter, the same comment could be made about the Peterson System pipes, due to their moisture well; and yet they seem to be quite popular pipes. I have two, myself, and enjoy them both. As always, try things for yourself, and decide what works for you. [/QUOTE]
