THANKS TO CYBER6 FOR THIS INK SAMPLE!

 

Rotten Green is a really nice ink. I wasn't too excited about it at first because it is much, much wetter than most of the inks I've used before. I did get used to it over the few days I had it in my pens, but I'd prefer a slightly drier ink.

 

I love the color. It is almost precisely the color of Sailor Cigar before Cigar dries. (If you don't know about Cigar, check it out.)

 

Care was taken to ensure color accuracy.

Thanks for a well written review, JC.

 

Side Note: 1 bottle unopened Sailor Pen & Message Cigar on EBay...bids start at $52. USD. No bids yet.

Ouch. I used White Rabbit Express to import a few bottles some months ago. I think the cost per bottle, including their fee, was about $27. I believe Cigar is sold out at least until second quarter 2016, though.

Great review. Not my kind of colour though.

Excellent review, thank you.

Great review! Thank you. Now that is one interesting name for an ink.

Looks like a dark grey color in the first paragraph. Must be my screen.

Another aesthetically pleasing, informative review. Thank you.

(You need to slow down though, I sense a review from you soon that'll cost me money )

 

I adore the colour but the word "wooly" sends shivers down my writing arm . . .

Thank you for a better name for one of my all time favorite green inks! A much better name than Konrad himself came up with.

Very nice review. I first loaded this one in a relatively dry writer, and it has behaved well for me, even on not-so-good paper. You might try to tame it by adding a drop of water to your fill.

Awesome review.. You know I am sucker for murky greens..

 

 

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.. Rotten Green, will still be one of my favorites..

 

 

Thank you so much Jason for the gorgeous review..

Looks like a dark grey color in the first paragraph. Must be my screen.

 

The first paragraph is written when the Desiderata pen with a Nemosine B nib attached. It writes a wet, broad line. Shading on this ink tends to black. As I say in the review, it is very dark. But on a color corrected monitor, you should be able to still detect some grey/green there.

 

Perhaps I should have included a sample of a true grey or even a black ink for comparison. Unfortunately, I don't have a grey dark enough...
