Default Re: Savinelli filter question

You usually get a spacer that goes in place of the filter with the Savs if you don't wanna use it. I think it's not so much a filter as it is a moisture wick. I never liked filters as I thought it interrupted the air flow that I preferred. I would say try it and if you don't like it, toss it. I wouldn't say they make the smoke any better at all though.

Agreed,

My experience with filters is that they tend to hinder flow and flavor in a pipe rather than enhance it. I have yet to find a filter that does anything than cause problems in a pipe.
