DO you neeed to keep it in? does it matter?

 

[bubbadreier]

No get rid of it!

 

[puffintuff]

What filter ?

 

[thesmokindragon]

Some smokers like filters...some/most don't :wink:

 

[uberam3rica]

ok thanks

 

[unclearthur]

I chuck filters . Bloody pain in the arse!

 

[ejames]

I use 'em all the time!

 

[morlader]

My Vauen has a filter it's the only one and I can live with it.The Savinelli that I may have for Christmas will have the filter chucked.

 

[portascat]

Attach the filter to a stinger, and you will get a very cool, dry, smoke.

The only filter I use is in my Savinellis and I only use this in wet tobaccos and aromatics. I don't like like metal or paper filters much, but I have not found that they change the flavor very much.

 

[uberam3rica]

ok what is is a stinger?

 

[fshu2]

i remove almost all filters the only ones i will use on occasion is a sav filter just because i think it is a cool concept.

 

[pstlpkr]

DO you neeed to keep it in? does it matter?

Nope to both questions...

Don't like filters, and have no use for stingers either.

 

[pawpaw]

best advice i can give you is try it both ways and YOU decide

 

[ace57]

I Myself don't like them but do like Pawpaw said.

 

[logandow]

it's a preference more than anything, but they will also take spending money away that you could use on more tobacco or pipes.

 

[pipegoddess]

What pawpaw said if it makes a difference to you that's all that matters... no particular right or wrong when it comes to that. Piping is all about personal experience and expression Put ya pipe on and let ya soul flow

 

[brewshooter]

If the pipe is designed for a filter, I use one. If not, I don't. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

 

[bubbadreier]

ok what is is a stinger?

A stinger is the metal piece that is usually connected to the stem of some older pipes and some new ones at that! Here is an example...

It is said to condense the moisture in the smoke and provide a cooler and drier smoke.... Whether it actually does is still up for debate! Hope this helps!

never remove your oil filter, your engine needs it. Stingers are loud pipes used on Harleys :rofl:
