Yes, the longer the stem the cooler the smoke. A lot of moisture can also make the smoke hotter. You can use a filter to help with that or use something like Nording Keystones. I do not like filters and use the Keystones. They work very well. They're small pieces of porous volcanic clay that you drop into the bottom of the bowl and pack the tobacco on top. They work in any pipe. They absorb moisture and do not affect flavor. They also help with a smoother draw since you have a little air pocket at the bottom of the bowl. And it cuts down on gurgle which is the main reason I got them. I highly recommend them.
