Help me find these matches from Joe vs. the Volcano

Is there a particular name for this type of match that has the extra-long red-tip? Here's another link that shows it lit. (Screenshots taken from 'Joe vs. the Volcano'). Bonus if you can find an online (or Seattle) store that sells 'em. thank you.

Are they crazy camping waterproof/storm matches? Try REI.

That link had a good picture on google image search, here's a one for REI that certainly has a store in Seattle.
