    Anybody Try a Petersen System Filtered?

    I have a couple of Peterson filtered system pipes and they are great. I only use 9mm charcoal filters and I do not notice the system being much better than my other filter pipes but I enjoy them very much.

    Flogging that Dead Horse - Activated Charcoal Filters

    Everything is a risk. That being said, I use 9mm charcoal filters. My reason was mainly because I enjoy the smoke so much more.

    Drying Before Smoking

    Depends on the moisture level. Typically I let it rest on a plate/towel or leather tray for a couple of minutes. Does not take long. 5 min max.

    Pipe Smoking and Mental Health

    I agree. I struggle with the same issues and the main reason I smoke a pipe is the relaxing effects. Similar to meditation for me.

    What One Can't Carry

    Filter Pipes?

    I have gravitated over the years to prefer 9mm filter pipes. I understand that I am in the minority but I have tested both extensively. Anyone else here enjoy filter pipes and if so, what is your favorite. I have a meerchaum and Vauen that are my current favorites.
