Montblanc James Purdey & Sons Single Malt Ink

[Cyrille81]

Thank you so much Tom for all these ink tests. Writing and photos are always awesome. It seems you fell under the parfumeur inks' spell I really like the wood & tobacco and the marine blue even if the flagrance doesn't remind me what it should be but the best is the Purdey & Sons Single Malt ink. I love the color and the flagrance. It is one of my favorite ink and in the Purdey pen it is a delight! I was lucky enough to be able to buy 2 additional bottles of the ink at the Paris store in September. So with 3 bottles I will be safe for long time.

With all your new inks you will have stock to spend winter

I am screaming I am screaming I am screaming

 

Right after I told myself that I already have too many Fountain pens, I just could not stop myself when I saw the MontBlanc Blue Hour Legrand. When I first saw the light reflected from the pen I was hooked and couldnt stop myself from reaching for it. After i got my hand on it it got even worse, the light reflected off the pen changes along with the movement of your hand.

 

I am starting to cry.... although I am glad I made this purchase I am still crying. oh god please help me. The sales rep was more than very helpful and professional, not to mention persuasive. Right before I left she handed me a booklet of Hadrian edition and I feel like I am in another trap now.

 

Oh by the way photo

 

Since I havent started using it until now, I would upload writing samples later.

Congratulations, on a beautiful pen! The Blue Hour is stunning. I bought one when it first came out, maybe two years ago. Like you I tried to resist, after having just bought an expensive pen at the DC Pen Show, but I finally gave in. Enjoy!

I resisted the Blue Hour Legrand for a good while as well, but am glad I gave in to temptation. It's a marvelous pen, and a great match for its accompanying ink.

Thanks to the generous help of a fellow member, I was able to acquire a nice 236 to replace the ones I traded years ago for a 136. Its got a sweet nib and is great to write and draw with.

Gorgeous, more photos please, this is my no. 1 sought after pen. I only have bits of one so far.

Haha they are great! Not necessarily the most elegantly proportioned as the barrel and cap when closed are equal lengths. Here are a few more pics from my phone:

Lovely pics, and a wartime steel nib to round it off! Thank you for posting. There's something about the equal cap and barrel lengths that does it for me :-) Happy writing.
