ANybody use these? I know I HATE inhaling bits of tobaccy, but it doesn't happen too much. Fearful that these would get stopped up and make smoking impossible.

depends on what you're packing in your pipe :-)

bump. So do you "sometimes" use a screen?

They're useless for smoking tobacco. I doubt you could finish one bowl.

Your crumb conundrum can be overcome by careful packing. Large pieces on the bottom, small bits on top.

I've smoked a pipe for twenty years and have never met another pipe smoker that uses them. I don't use them either, I might add. No offense to anyone, but they are drug paraphernalia.

Yes, I did some google work and discovered they are used mostly by bong smokers. Oopsy.

Does it happen that often to you that it would warrant getting a pipe screen, Hugh? You also may want to try kakes, flakes or ropes where there isn't as many small pieces of baccy to go through the stem.
[Reply]

Not that often, really. But when it does it's quite unpleasant. And these things are cheap! But, I did do some checking and it seems that very few pipers use them! I think I'll pass as well!

A filtered pipe might also work.

Screens are most typically used in 'glass' pipes...

I wouldn't use a screen personally, But they do have the metal Filters you can use.
