While gawking at several pipes online, I again came across a specific type of billiard, one which has a short tip but a longer stem. The tip is probably on the order of 2 inches or less. Does this particular type of pipe have a specialized name, and is there a special purpose in shortening the tip so much beyond cosmetics? I rather like this type of tip, and noticed Dunhill makes a couple of billiards with it.
