Replaced the balsa and paper filters in some of my pipes
I purchased a box of these to try them in some of my balsa, Grabow and Medico filter pipes. They are well made and fit all but one of my Savinelli pipes. The one that doesn't fit takes balsa filters just fine, but this filter will not go into the stem far enough to use it. As for the Grabow and Medico pipes, they fit just fine, but you can't push them into the stem all the way. If you do, you will need a pipe cleaner or a piece of wire to push them out. These are much shorter than the paper filters so I just leave them sticking out of the stem about 1/4" and that works just fine. Before I put them in, I give a short blow to clear out any charcoal dust so that it doesn't end up in my mouth and ruin the flavor of the tobacco. These do a much better job than the balsa and paper filters and I don't get tongue bite. I only get one bowl out of a filter since these are small and they absorb a lot. Just ordered a second box.
