I searched the forum with no luck. Screen or no screen in the bowl. Why or why not with possible pros and cons.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

No screens unless you are smoking dusty weed.
Ever notice how most screens get stolen from public bathroom faucets? It’s them dusty weed people.
Who is Dusty, and how do we contact him....asking for a friend.
A fine screen like that will clog up with pipe tobacco and hinder your draw.
I remember when me and Dusty were friends and I needed screens... they'll adversely affect the flavor of the combustion material too.
Do I take the same stance with filters? No screen ✅ got it…no filter?

Here's some reading material.

No use for 'em.

I have several 9mm filter pipes. Never use them. After the 1st bowl it just adds a nasty taste to the smoke. Just be sure to clean out the filter chamber regularly. I fold a paper towel and then roll it at an angle, insert and twist, keep pushing until it won't go farther, twist in opposite direction as you pull it out.
Hope that last part makes it past the maiden aunt censor-bot.
