Screens: brass or stainless steel?

Can say I've never had that happen. I wonder if your puffing too hard. Non of my briar pipes have filters and never had a mouthful
of ash before

Someone on Cigar Weekly gave me some good advice. Don't try and smoke every last bit of tobacco. Keep a little at the bottom that acts as a filter, and just dump it with the ash and dead coals when you're done.

I think trying to smoke every bit, plus the shank in the bowl of my MM Cob were the cause. Now I will be sure not to try and smoke every little bit. Pipe tobaccos are mostly extremely cheap, especially coming from the cigar world, so no reason to worry about dumping a little unburnt tobacco.

I friggin love tobacco!
