[QUOTE="Scot's, post: 228931, member: 2561"] Technique is the key here. Everybody smokes differently and even the same person will smoke differently in different situations like workin in the yard or sittin in the easy chair. I have two 9mm filter pipes and a handful of Savs with the balsa and two Sav dry system pipes along with twenty five or so that have no filter and I love them all. Some tobaccos work better with... or without as well. I really like the 9mm with tobacco like Plumcake, it takes some of the bite out of em and I think enhances the subtle flavors. I love The Solent Mixture in the Sav balsa's as it seems to bring out the mid-range flavors and gives me a little leeway to push harder if I want. I've tried and will try different combinations looking for a better smoke and it's just another variable in the thousands that already exist in this hobby we enjoy... I am sure there are pipes and tobacco's that are just fine without one. I would never tell anyone not to try it... no more than I would tell anyone not to try a filtered cigarette. If it works and helps you to enjoy your smoke that much more, hey, help yourself. FWIW, I don't find pulling a nasty filter out of a pipe any worse than handling a nasty pipe cleaner through a wet pipe... but that's just me and just a humble opinion. Scott [/QUOTE]
