Opinions on this inexpensive cob for a newbie testing the waters

That is as good as anything. Some pipes come with filters which I personally don't like. I think a lot started out with a
drug store pipe. Can't beat the price

Thanks for the input. Is it possible to remove the filter it comes with and use screens instead? I honestly know so little about Pipes I don't know where the filter is to know if it's removable. If it's something that will eventually clog with burnt tobacco bits and/or tar, removing it and using screens instead seems like the smart move.

I'm assuming eventual clogging is the reason you don't like filters?

I friggin love cigars
