Quality 9mm Filter Pipes?

[shane1]

Who make good quality 9mm filter pipes. 9mm filter pipes are my preferred pipe but was well all know, all pipes are not created equal and filter pipes are no different. What I have noticed with filter pipes specifically is that the chamber that the hold the filer is different sizes among different pipes. It should be a “tight fit” so that the smoke goes through the filter and not around. Anyone else experience this and have you found a dependable manufacturer? I have not had any of these issues with Vauen so far but I am looking for a little variety. Thanks in advance.

I wish I could edit to correct the grammar and other issues but oh well.

I don't use it with filters much but my Savinelli works fine with a filter.

Vauen (The inventor of the 9mm activate carbon filter)

Vauen as you mentioned is great. When I have used filters in the past (not anymore), Rattray's had a tight fit.

Savinelli balsa pipes work good for me with non English blends like aromatics. Plus I like the fact that I can easily make my own filters for about 10% the cost of buying them.

Grabow, Savinelli and Missouri Meerschaum all have the same tight fit for their filters. However, they don't really filter the smoke, they just keep moisture from reaching your mouth and or bowl.

Not really what you are asking, but the Brigham maple filters are great.

I do have a Vauen with the 9mm filter and find the draw a tad tight for my liking.

Three words; Peterson Dublin Filter.

I’ve got a Lorenzetti that I really like.

If you're ever looking for a meer, Altinay makes great 9mm pipes.

I have one 9mm and it’s also a Pete. One of the best smoking briars I own. It’s a Rosslare Royal Irish.

I would go with Vauen. Love my Vauen it's a sharp looking pipe and great smoker and the filter while not into them so much seemed be pretty useful as what it was supposed to do.

I’m glad to see some love for 9mm. Stanwell makes great 9mms and my Leevancleef.com meer is a nice one too

They really ought to be called "absorbers".

The Savinelli Siena line is 9mm and I second the Peterson Dublin Filter recommendation. I'm not super keen on the Vauen shape chart, so I have no experience with them.

 

[briarbuda48]

If I’m using a filter, it is most likely a 9mm balsa. If I am smoking a tobacco that is known to bite me, I will use a Vauen which helps in my opinion. The non balsa, charcoal filters do mute the flavors but not enough to prevent me from using them on occasion.

Peterson Derry range of 9mm pipes are excellent smokers.They are also very reasonable price wise.
My favourite 9mm pipes are Danish made Danske Club pipes.I have a nos 85 fully bent billiard and a freehand nos 63.

If you don't mind a less well known brand, Mr Brog has wonderful, handmade, pipes for very reasonable prices.
