+=== Brylon (High Temperature Resin and Wood Flour) ===
+[[File:Lancer.jpg|left|thumb|Medico Lancer made of Brylon]]In 1966, [[S.M. Frank]] developed a material called "Brylon" made of a high temperature resin combined with "wood flour", which is pulverized wood of varying consistency.  The pipes were cheaper and more durable, but heavier in the mouth and had a tendency to smoke hot and wet.  They are still made today, and favored by some for their inability to be burnt out or otherwise damaged without significant effort and the ease of cleaning the pipe.  For more information see [[S.M. Frank]].
