Savinelli Regimental 6mm Briar Pipes
Savinelli Regimental Briar Pipe:
The Colours on the Regimental pipes, officially known as "Chestnut and Gold" belongs to the 22nd Cheshire Foot Regiment - one of the five British infantry regiments - drafted in 1689 by Henry Howard, 7th Duke of Norfolk.
In 1919, the Prince of Wales and Future King of England Edward VIII, visited the United States wearing the Grenadier tie, where he served during the Great War. He was well known as one of the most stylish men in the world so after his visit all the refined Americans started wearing the British regiment ties, but printed the opposite way. The original ones had the lines starting from left to right; the American ones were from right to left.
6mm Balsa wood filter
Unique to Savinelli is their Balsa wood filter system. The shape does not form a seal in the bore of the pipe so allows an unrestricted full flavoured draw but the extremely porous and highly absorbent nature of the Balsa wood is very effective at removing moisture and impurities from the smoke. The filter can be removed for those who prefer a totally unrestricted full on smoke.
