So I'm considering getting a pipe with a filter, why would be the benefit or the con of filters? It's a savinelli miele...do I have to use the filter?
Any ideas on this would be great

Thanks for the quick replies! If I get the pipe I'll just not use the filter, seeing how its not necessary
Cheers!

Filters are great at preventing gurgle if your pipe is prone to that. They do reduce flavor and mellow out the smoke a little. Most don't use them because of that including myself. I own a few corn cob pipes which never gurgle because of the really big air passages and a Peterson System Pipe for the same reason. Filters can also reduce tongue bite on blends that bite you too much.
One of the reasons i started with a filtered Savinelli was because of the many reasons mentioned above. I've smoked it with and without and cannot tell the diff...... :roll:
I smoke all the way to the bottom of the bowl and do several relights to make sure I got it all. Sometimes in a cob with a large stem passage, I'll get some hot ash on my tongue, so I started using a filter in those. I don't use a production filter, but put some of the tobacco I'm smoking in the stem. Saves the tongue every time.
