I'm not familiar with BC using alternative materials for their pipes. Brylon is pretty much the property of Yello-Bole. BTW, they are horrible pipes. I have a Brylon that I keep to remind me of how far I've come in 44 years.
A brylon pipe is pretty indestructible. If you need a tack hammer or reflex tapper, they'll come in quite handy.
Not what I'd call clenchers, unless you've got metal teeth, cuz they're pretty heavy.
I made one mistake. oops...make that two...during my first few days of buying pipes online, I got a yello bole and a The Pipe.

I'd say you've got briar right there. I've got two Butz Choquins and they're both very NICE briars.
My Yello Bole brylon IS lighter than my THE PIPE....I was cleaning the bowl after a smoke once and the bottom of the bowl came out like an egg shell...a thin layer of yello 'shell'...haven't bothered with it since.

Really well aged quality briar can sometimes feel that way. When I got my first really nice pipe, an unsmoked early Ashton, at an antique store I was shocked at how light and "plastic" the pipe felt. It smokes like a dream! I have a feeling that certain finishes also lead to the plastic feeling.
I had a terrible dream once that all my antique meerschaums had been stolen and replaced with copies made from Brylon that had been painted white to resemble meerschaum. I actually got up and went downstairs to check the damn things to make sure it was just a dream!
