I was thinking the same thing Gig about the restriction of flow.  I like the Omega without the filter for that reason.  Someday I'll have other Grabows to talk about.  Just have to get some first   Smile

Yes. You don't want to be doing much more than sitting with a good book, or watching an old movie.

Individual option. Depends on the diameter of the pipe's airway, packing the bowl, smoker's technique, etc.


I agree with that.  I smoke the few I have with a filter though.  I once cleaned one of those filter pipes that apparently had been smoked without the filter for years -- that large area is a HUGE place for junk and gunk to build up and I almost never got all the gunk and stuff out of it.  Took MANY Q-tips (pipe cleaners will only reduce the gunk to the diameter of the cleaner, which restored it's ability, but left residue that continued to make the pipe taste dirty).  That experience convinced me to smoke the filter pipes with filters.  --RJ--
