Conway Stewart Churchill LE - Claret

[mava]

I forgot to mention what makes your edition limited is that it's a "bespoke" since it has the silver trim. I have both and I prefer the silver!

Nice Review. I like the photos and the straightforward and honest way you present this pen. I've never considered (well not seriously) this pen before. Thanks for the tour.

As for the nibs, having just spoken to Conway Stewart, it seems that they are made by Bock (which comes as a bit of a surprise* to me).

 

* Temptation to use "shock" for rhyming value successfully resisted.

Was that through their customer service center? Do you find them very responsive?

[I am not a number]

I used the UK number from their website. They were a little cagey at first but when I told them that I was pointing a very powerful handgun at a kitten they volunteered the information quite freely (although I did ask them directly if the nibs were made by Bock - which was basically a lucky guess).

[Deirdre]

I was wondering what was in the box. It's gorgeous!

 

I must now get my own IB nib. I have an IF.

[Garageboy]

Just out of curiosity, what brand is the cigar and is it dry as a bone?

[Leftytoo]

I've always thought Conway Stewart makes some of the most colorful, classic pens out there. Thanks for the great review; love your sense of humor!

Thanks for posting the review. I have the same pen - number 11. It is my first and only Conway Stewart and I can say because I am so pleased with this pen, it certainly won't be my only CS for very long.

Thanks for the great review! It is a beauty! But... HOW WAS THE CIGAR?

I'm saving it for best!

 

I enjoyed reading the review IANAN, very nicely done. Thank you. Some side story about Churchill's cigars: http://acorn.nationalinterest.in/2008/03/1...hinopoly-cigar/

 

 

Best,

This is one of my I want pens but oh can I afford it. Your review doesn't help me resist. Thanks, and I love the nib!

An entertaining review of a lovely pen. The gorgeous photos made me decide to order my Dandy in Claret. Mille grazie.

Ha! I ordered my not-black Dandy as a Claret, and I had not seen this. And now that I have... excuse me, I have to keel over with joyous relief. Claret is gorgeous! It was SO HARD for me to pick the not-black, and I wavered between a few choices. *Dances on toes, claps hands* Can hardly wait!

Has an attack of the vapors at the glory of that IB nib and immediately begins plotting ways to obtain one.

 

Yeah, me too!
