I first noticed Alice and Sebastian at West Coast Craft 5 years ago with their simple beautiful smooth stone like objects sitting on the table. It took me a few years of lamenting and another totally charming meeting at their craft table and a fun contest for me to finally make the purchase. Miwak Jr. put a contest out asking to send in the reason you would purchase a Miwak pipe for your loved one. My reason? I was so tired of my husband's dick shaped green glass pipe laying around, very 1990s Haight street head shop. After that little fun contest where they were giving out a little discount of a treat; I bought him a Sierra Bravo. And now it is our favorite pipe in the whole world. Do some searches on artisan pipes and you will see Miwak Jr pops up with all of them and stands out in the crowd. In real life this pipe is an subtle show stopper when you pass it around your neighbor's backyard BBQ. The Bravo is smooth, and looks beautiful on the bathroom windowsill, or anywhere else pipes get left behind after sneak blowing out the window. It feels like a grown-up's pipe, and it makes us feel good to use and have laying around. Best of all it is a little useful sculpture made by nice people. I plan to always have one in my house for the rest of my life. Thank you Sebastian and Alice!
