Savinelli, the worlds No.1 selling pipe Ferrari have given the Italians a reasonable edge in the world of motoring but that’s not all they strive at. Since 1876 Savinelli have kept the Italians at the pinnacle of the pipe manufacturing game! Putting the Italian legacy behind us for a minute if you where to look at the Savinelli range you could be forgiven for thinking they are a classic high end British made pipe. We have received a number of comments over the years from our high end pipe customers who believe the quality of the briar and the finish of Savinelli pipes exceed what is strongly regarded as the epitome of the pipe world and they don’t demand the same price tag (No names mentioned as we are British through and through)

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.

Savinelli Regimental 128 The 101 is one of the most recognisable pipe shapes there is, a classic straight billiard shape finished with a deep red stain and Savinellis trademark thick glaze. The Chestnut and gold coloured band is finished off with a tapered burgundy fishtail stem.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a generic image that we have taken from a random selection of this pipe model from our stocks. It is unlikely to be the exact pipe you will receive. Due to the nature of the raw material used and this being a handmade product there will be some variation in grain, colour and finish. There could also be a slight variation in the dimensions provided.
