I love the look of the short stubby nosewarmer/poker pipes but have never smoked one.

What are pros and cons in your opinion?

I would think the smoke would be hotter since there is such a small distance for it to travel, but don't know if that is accurate.

Savinelli has this one for a very reasonable price (less than $80) and it looks really cool IMO.

Also there is a new poker cob designed by the Dagners that is really cool looking as well and would give the opportunity to try it for not much money.
