The New Savinelli Regimental range takes inspiration from the colours long associated with Regimental ties. The story begins in 1845 in London, when four students, after a cricket match, started an amateaur club. The colours chosen for the club were used for the blazer and the ribbon around the boater. In 1880, the first school ties were born at the Exeter College of Oxford. In 1919 the Prince of Wales and future King of England VIII also known as the Duke of Windsor visited the United States wearing most of the time the Grenadier Guards tie, where he served during the Great War. He was well known as one of the most stylish men so after his visit all the refined Americans started wearing Britain's 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. The colours on our Regimental pipes, officially known as "Chestnut & Gold" belongs to the Cheshire regiment of Foot - one of five British infantry regiments drafted in 1689 by Henry Howard 7th Duke of Norfolk.
Savinelli Tobacco Pipes started in 1876, by Achille Savinelli Sr, who in the centre of Milan, opened one of the world’s first tobacco shops. To this day passionate smokers still meet at the store location to share their love of his brilliant tobacco pipes. Savinelli has stayed a family business from its inception, with the shop and brand passing down generations. At a time where Italy was mass producing poor quality pipes, the Savinelli name was at the forefront of innovation and quality, combining family tradition with quality materials.
Today, the Savinelli tobacco pipe range is thriving and here at GQ Tobaccos, we have a huge collection of authentic Savinelli pipes and pipe tobacco for customers to order. For any more information on these or any of our other traditional and historical tobacco pipes, get in touch with our team.
