Good start
April 25, 2017
Product: Filters & Adaptors Savinelli 6mm Balsa Filters (20 Count)
The Savinelli Balsa system is a great introduction to one of the most neglected essentials of pipe smoking. They do not alter the taste in any way, take care of all moisture related issues, and are pracically free if you weigh them against future med... Read More
ical bills. I am giving 4 stars rather than 5 since they are not nearly as effective against tars and harmful particles as activated charcoal filters such as Stanwells, which are my favorites by far (but sadly not available from Smokingpipes). But the Balsa system is definitely a good start. The 6mm work identical to bigger 9mm siblings, the choice depending on the pipe you are using. Read Less
Really Work Well

Product: Filters & Adaptors Savinelli 6mm Balsa Filters (20 Count)
Considering they really do not alter the taste of the tobacco, and considering how brown and moist they get after a smoke, I much prefer to have one in my pipe than not - especially for this price. Some 6mm pipe stems you might have to squash the fil... Read More

I really like the Savinelli balsa system. I smoke both filtered and unfiltered pipes, and these are the way to go if you want a filter. They definitely reduce moisture and tar and help prevent gurgle, while not dramatically changing the flavor of t... Read More

This is the filter for filter haters. Doesn’t rob the flavor of the tobacco. Obviously it won’t filter as well as charcoal but charcoal ruins the taste. Balsa is a nice compromise. You don’t have to change them out after every bowl but they will even... Read More
tually smell terrible and be soaked no longer serving a purpose. I change mine every 2-3 bowls. I just smell it before I load it. If it stinks, I change it. Read Less
The second best thing to a Kirsten

They work great and I can only think of one thing that works better, a Kirsten. Kirsten is my go to for moist tobacco or on a humid day. But in my pipes that take the 6 mm or even the nine (diff product) these are excellent and do everything they’re ... Read More

Still giving the taste of the Tobacco, but with great protection moisture wise, and health wise? I'd rather use them then not.

If you filter your pipes...

Product: Filters & Adaptors Savinelli 6mm Balsa Filters (20 Count)
I feel the need to share my experience with these tried and true Savinelli balsa filters. Piper's usually argue til blue-in-the-face for or against pipe filters. On this issue, I'm in the middle. I have pipes of many a make and model. As a rule, ... Read More
if it was designed to use a filter, then I use one. But, I cannot bring myself to use anything other than these. The lifespan of a filter is another hot topic with most users agreeing you can get more use than recommend, but I tend to think it's subjective and effected by types of tobacco smoked and how far the smoker is willing to put up with pipe funk. I actually use these filters as a gauge to help me remember when to do a cleaning. In most cases a Savinelli filter last about a week to ten days before I need a clean one. I might add that while Savinelli makes 9mm filters, it's perfectly fine to use two 6mm if you cut the top of the triangle off of one lengthwise and stack them together in a sort of diamond shape. The triangular shape of these allows plenty of airflow and do a great job of soaking up moisture. I can't speak to how well they filter harmful smoke, but if your that worried about it, stop smoking. Anyone who's ever sucked bits of tobacco into their airway on a charing light knows what filters are good for, namely preventing this from happening. I can say I've never had balsa effect the taste of any tobacco variety. These work particularly well in any Missouri Meerschaum filtered pipe too. So, if you want to try a filter and want the best, you can't beat Savinelli balsa wood. Read Less
Never use a pipe without these

Product: Filters & Adaptors Savinelli 6mm Balsa Filters (20 Count)
I'm so happy I found these. Small little wooden triangles that absorb some of the excess moisture from aromatics. Takes away the biting and doesn't change the taste at all. I wouldn't even consider this a filter. I usually use one per smoke because ... Read More
they are so affordable and completely natural. Fits great in my Rossi Messina, and you can shave off some of the wood to fit smaller pipes. Read Less

At first I was skeptical about trying filters because I thought they were girly. I was wrong. I love these things. My Savinelli that I started using them in has become a favorite and I have learned to really appreciate them in my cobs. I don't think ... Read More

Blocks moisture and cools the smoke, doesn't change or diminish the flavor of the tobacco, and has no effect whatsoever on the draw. Goodbye paper filters!
A must for the Savinelli smoker

Product: Filters & Adaptors Savinelli 6mm Balsa Filters (20 Count)
Not really a filter, more of a wick to absorb the moisture from the bowl of the pipe. The smoke does not pass through the balsa wood but goes around it, thats the reason its triangled in shape. I have not noticed any difference in flavor with or with... Read More
out the filter. What I have noticed is that I don't get the bitter juices if you keep the filter changed after about four smokes. I highly recommend the use of this filter in your Savinelli pipes. I wish it would fit in other brands of pipes. Read Less
Cool smokes and no flavor loss

Product: Filters & Adaptors Savinelli 6mm Balsa Filters (20 Count)
I really enjoy using these in my hardwood MM pipes. The help cool the aromatics that I smoke and I haven't noticed any difference of flavor when I smoke without them. So might as well use them and enjoy the cooling effects.

I used these in all my 6mm filtered pipes. They do not restrict the draw in any way, remove excess moisture and keep unwanted debris from getting in your mouth. Stock up on them while they're on the cheap ;)
Must have for aromatic smokers
February 13, 2014
Product: Filters & Adaptors Savinelli 6mm Balsa Filters (20 Count)
These are a big help if you smoke aromatics that have more dottle than non aromatics. They're cheap, change them often and enjoy a nice dry smoke. Used them in my Porto Cervo all the time.
