One of my new pipes is a cheapie Lucienne and it has a removable brass who-z-what's-it press fitted into the stem so that it sits half in the stem and half in the bowl area. Supposedly it's to cut down on particulate and "cool" the smoke.
So... the question, can I remove this thing and still have a good smoke? Is there any real advantage to keeping it in place? Also, any tips on keeping this pipe from getting clogged so easily?
Thanks!
