Seattle Pipe Club - Christmas Spirit 2023 4oz
Review the tobacco, not the price point.
I think it extremely silly to write a review on the price of the tobacco. This is a seasonal tobacco, a fun extravagance. I think Smoking Pipes should not allow reviews by anyone that hasn't actually purchased and tried the tobacco. Here's how it works in the adult world - if you don't want to pay the price, don't buy it. I I have tried the tobacco and think, as a once a year extravagance, well worth the price. It's really great stuff. The review that made me laugh the hardest was the review that suggested Smoking Pipes was "deleting" reviews (with an approved and published review).

Filters & Adaptors - Savinelli 6mm Filters - Charcoal (100 Pack)
Very good filter
Since the shortage of Balsa has effected the availability of the Savinelli 6mm balsa filters, I gave these a try. I was very pleasantly surprised. I've come to prefer them to the balsa in my Savs. They do effect the draw perhaps more than the balsa, and at first I feared that would be a problem - but no. The pipe still stays lit as easily it did with the triangular balsa filters. And, for me, it really takes the bit and any bitterness out of a tobacco, leaving only the essence of flavor. I have ordered some more. Update - the balsa shortage has ended (2023) - and I am still buying these filters. I have come to prefer them to the balsa filters as my first choice.
