Picked this estate Stanwell a couple weeks ago. I do love my apple/brandy shapes... or maybe it is a squashed tomato. Either way it fits nicely in the hand. The other cool thing about this pipe is that it is fitted for a 9mm filter. I bought some Vaun filters and a few Savinelli balsa inserts. I have been curious about filters for a while now. It will be interesting to try a tobacco with and without a filter or balsa insert.
So what is your opinion on filters/inserts?
