If you get a cob, you can always take out the paper filter if you want. Try it with or without and see which you like better.

Cobs draw a bit too easily for me without a filter. You can cut a paper filter in thirds and this restricts the draw and catches little bits of tobacco. Or, cheaper yet, cut pipe cleaners into 3/4" lengths, fold into a "V" (with some "spring" to it so it stays in place) and stick it into the tenon. This provides some restriction, collects some moisture and tars and catches little bits of tobacco.
