[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 22179, member: 341"] Any filter changes the air-draw somewhat, though how much obviously varies by pipe and smoker. The health bonus of a filter is pretty minimal for a pipe; the perk is preventing bite and/or gurgle to some extent. The Savinelli balsa inserts work pretty well for me, but I don't like how that little residue-soaked sponge is sitting in my shank until the pipe is cool enough to take apart. I don't care for paper filters, esp. the thought of all that dioxin-bleached paper so close to a heat source. European pipes with the meer or charcoal filters, I don't mind the idea, but I have no personal experience. In theory, they're made of the same material inside your pipe, so the flavor alteration should be minimal. Long story short, even if the effect is psychosomatic, if filters are going to change your smoking experience for the worse, why bother? [/QUOTE]
