A characteristic of the Savinelli pipe is the unique filter system. In the shaft a bore of 6 millimeter is drilled, in which a triangular piece of balsa wood is placed. This light weight piece of wood, extremely porous, absorbs all the tar and nicotine from the smoke thus cleaning the smoke. A lot of standard Savinelli pipes have this system, but those smokers desiring not to use the balsa filter, can easily block the system with a plug supplied with every pipe. | A characteristic of the Savinelli pipe is the unique filter system.
