Welcome to the forum!
You will find that the filter debate is ongoing and with no end in sight. Some swear by filters, some detest them. As for me, some of my pipes take filters and some don't. I use a rock maple insert for my Brigham and its great. I have a Christmas 2016 Peterson and some Vauens that take a 9mm charcoal filter. I find that they really restrict the draw for me.
But like anything else pipe related, do what works for you and your pipe.
Happy piping!

The maple inserts do absorb a lot of moisture,and I’Ve had no problems with strange tastes.BUT.........they do restrict the draw a little bit,not as much as the charcoal filters,but it’s not the open draw feeling you get with a non filter pipe.
I think the Brigham filters are the best of the filter types, they definitely lower tar and moisture. I find it helps to rotate them. Take them out and let them dry between smokes and results are good!
You can even wash them to clean the build-up up and reuse them (up to a certain number of times, of course).
