Just wanted to update my post now that my Rhino has arrived with the leather brown tip. It does have that clear layer, like the Time does - but it's clearly a multi-layer leather tip.
Plays great. It's a much harder tip than the Tiger sniper I'm using on my Katana 3 shaft. I'm enjoying playing with this shaft so far. Making all the shots I usually make, but on long shots with side spin, I'm having better success - possibly attributed to more confidence which is most probably new shaft syndrome...
Here's a shot of the cue with the unknown tip.
