How Do You Smoke Your Savenelli Filter Pipes?

I smoke my Savinelli sans filter with the adapter installed. I can't say I noticed any plastic taste from it.

No filter and no adaptor, I like a wide open draw.

I have only one Savinelli pipe that takes a filter, and I always smoke it with a balsa filter. I like to smoke some tobaccos with a filter, and this is one of 6 pipes I have that use a filter. The others are a Chacom 2011 POY (9mm Sav. balsa filter), an old Brigham (one of my favorites) and 3 MM cobs, which I use the Sav. 6mm balsa filters in. Outside of the Brigham, which is the best filter pipe I've ever smoked, I find the balsa system the best if you're going to use a filter. Most of the time I smoke without filters, but when I do use a filter, I use the pipes and filters I've mentioned here. If you haven't tried a balsa filter, try one sometime, even if just in a cob. They don't restrict the draw too much, let plenty of flavor through, are not very expensive and when blotted and dried after use, you'll get maybe 3-4 smokes from them. I use them mainly with aro tobaccos that smoke a little wetter than most of the tobaccos I smoke.

Experimenting can be fun! ::

First thing I do is pitch the filter. I use the adapter in most. Some I don't have the adapter for but it isn't an issue.
