I've noticed a lot of pipe makers producing what seems like a lot of nose warmer, stubby, short, etc pipes. Just wondering what the attraction to them is? It sort of seems like they would smoke hot and maybe wet? All I can figure is they would be easy to carry in a pouch or something? Just curious.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Short pipes?

Just like all pipe smoking, it depends on the pipe quality, tobacco quality, and smoking techniques. I have a Chacom nose warmer that doesn't get hot with the right tobacco (dryer Virginia based, ribbon cut) but if you run a wet tobacco through it, it's as hot as the sun. Then again, I have a corn cob nose warmer that is hot no matter what you run through it.
And, regardless of the above, if I start hot boxing it, they both will get hot.
To me, the advantage of a nose warmer is that it's super easy to transport and great for quick smokes. I have one that I keep in my glove box for short drives.

I love all my short pipes. Never noticed any getting too hot. But if you are worried about that look for a RC or reverse calabash. They will smoke cooler
