I'm really enjoyed the first episode of "The Son" with Pierce Brosnan. It's a new series on AMC, set in turn of the century South Texas. A period piece about Texas oil versus the Mexican and Native American population. Pierce plays the patriarch of this family and he is shown often smoking a PIPE!!! He's smoking a half bent billiard with a smooth finish, a dark walnut stain and a tapered fishtail stem with a silver or nickel stem band. I believe it might be a Peterson Aran #69. He not only smokes it often but there's a scene where the camera focuses on the top of the bowl, with a few ribbons of stray tobacco catching fire as he methodically takes match to his bowl and draws a few deep puffs from his trusted friend. This was clearly shot by a pipe lover. And Pierce is the picture of a man's man. Handsome, bearded, rugged. He's clearly going to be the next Kevin Costener quietly promoting pipe smoking for a new generation. I already began scouring my collection to find the exact same pipe as his. The new "Devil Anse"! I also just bought a Peterson 69 Flame Grain that comes with both the black vulcanite stem and a faux Amber acrylic stem, just in case I don't have the exact same pipe. I have tons of Aran's. Some quite similar. But not THAT pipe!! Where are all my PAD brothers out there?
Check out the show. I like where it's going, but as a pipe smoker, I LOVE this show. I'd love to hear your opinion on what that pipe he's smoking is? It could be an old WCD from the turn of the twentieth century, but I need to know more.
