The thing about short pipes, chubbies or nose warmers, as some call em, is that, for me at least, they are best suited for outdoors smoking. Indoors, these short pipes may get smoke in your eyes, and cause tearing up. There's good reason for standard shanks to be as long as they are, and that is to keep the smoke out of your eyes. Outdoors, this isn't a problem, of course, given the slightest of breezes. If you're after a shortish pipe then a standard short billiard in the Group 3 size might fit the bill.
