Small bowls. Partial bowls. Let it go out and smoke more later - Delayed gratification technique, or DGT.
Any of these might work, and give you pleasant results.

Penny can bite a little if pushed too hard. This guy seems like he may smoke fast.
Five Brothers: it smokes fast and dry!
Shag cut blends are my go to for quick smokes (or ribbon cut bulk blends)
GLP Penny Farthing and G&H Dark Birds Eye are my go-to shags. Occasionally I'll smoke some Five Brothers, or add it to another blend.
Match Victorian and Pegasus are two great bulk blends for quick smokes. None of these really require any dry time or prep. Just stuff and puff blends that taste great

A clay is an excellent suggestion. Small bowl, they smoke clean, and you put off the clean up until you burn it
I probably already said it but what I use for that is. My tiny little pipe the metal blowfish by Tsuge. It's a kick ass pipe. It's chamber is the same dimensions as are typical in the Kiseru (those samurai smoking pipes) but it's briar. And I smoke either five brothers or semois in it. Either of those are strong enough in both nic and flavor to give a short smoke that sates ones urge to smoke for a little bit. But you're not going to get more by extra puffing on anything except weed which leads to my half serious suggestion. Get a water pipe and then you can torch a bowl of whatever blend and not get tongue bite. IT won't be enjoyable but it will functionally work. (never underestimate the things a bored teenager will try, a bored 40 year old will ask around first to find out who has done it and what they have to say about it).
Using a good shag for a small RYO cig is always an alternative to the pipe ritual and the time limitations it can impose. One learns to gently puff that cig without inhaling. 5 - 10 minutes from start to finish.
It is impossible to fill you need for a tobacco that has all those restrictions on it. Just get your typical pipe, fill it up. and smoke per our usual dictum (slow smoking) and just put it down when you have to. You can pick it back up later when you have more time.
Just waiting for one of our British friends here to chime in that it’s inadvisable to have a shag in such a short amount of time…
No fun in smoking for such a short time for me. Maybe it is for you. But if you are just looking for nicotine then just vape, snus, nic pouch or whatever fast option is possible. The experience is better if you smoke longer.
They would say "If there's no time for a quick shag, then just bum a fag."
I bought this small Bones pipe for just that. A lunch time smoke.
I just invented a game* on this topic -- Smoke Break Roulette. Hop outside and light your pipe. Your smoking time is how ever long it stays lit. Goes out right away? Too bad, get back to work. 10 minutes? Ace! Stays lit for an hour and you get fired? Rules are rules!

I usually reserve this quick-smoking thing for latakia blends. I occasionally like the flavor of latakia but I get bored of it quickly, so if I know I do not have a lot of time, or if it's cold outside I'll smoke a pinch of something latakia and be thankful when it's over.
Something Dark Fired shag/ fine ribbon or Semois in a smaller bowled squat bulldog or similar sized group 1-2 pipe, smaller French made pipes such as Jeantet Etudiant line or Savinelli Minutos are worth taking a look at
C&D's Mississippi Mud. Cool smoking is its one great attribute. It's not bad. Just not a lot of flavor.
+1 for Semois
Not only does it burn rather quickly, but if I spend more than 15 minutes with it, I'm going to need to lie down.
To second what some others have already said, some shag cut tobacco (like anything from Daughters & Ryan) in a small pipe like a MM Short Stop or Eaton has been my go-to quick smoke for a while. I used to smoke Smoker's Pride Rich Taste (another shag cut) in a Short Stop all the time when I only wanted a 5 minute or less smoke.
To each their own. If I don’t have the time to sit down and leisurely enjoy a pipe, then it’s simply not the right time for it. Usually it’s a 1.5-2 hour endeavor that I engage in only once a day. Occasionally I may have a morning and evening session and often none at all. Sometimes I can’t get to it for weeks on end.
For me smoking a pipe has to be something to look forward to rather than being a slave to. The nicotine is the byproduct of the means not the means in itself.
