Thanks gents. It's a Savinelli and I love it! I've used the filter so far, but Savinelli included a restrictor. I'll try it both ways, but ** NO gurgle!** I'd be open to some insight from more experienced members on the balsa filters. My Pete Father's Day has done nothing but gurgle since day one, so I may try one in it.....
I may crack open the Peterson Santa blend tonight. I'm normally not an aro smoker, but this one smells great. I'll report back.
