Hi there.  I'm a beginning pipe smoker and am still trying to learn the 
ropes.  My first question is about filters.  From what I've found out, 
there are two types of pipe filters and I have been trying the regular 
paper filters.  I have heard from some peple that if you use pipe 
filters, you are supposed to inhale the smoke and have heard from others 
that you're not supposed to inhale pipe at all.  Which one of these 
opinions are true?  And if you use filters, how often are you supposed 
to change them?  I also have a question on the appropriate thickness of 
the carbon in a pipe.  How do I know when to stop scraping away at the 
carbon?  How much carbon are you actually supposed to leave in the pipe?  
Thank you very much for your time.  I really appreciate it!

[My personal leaning is not to inhale pipes at all, filtered or
no. Never having used filters, I can't say how often to change
them. And, regarding cake, about 1-2 mm works for me. -S. ]
