Hi, thank you for the review. I am a fan (aficionado) of waterman havanna. As I like dark browns i mixed some waterman black into havanna brown. Pure and mixed great inks.

Havana brown is one of those rare combinations of excellence and ready availability - it's cheap and easy to find one of the best inks on the planet. I'm a happy Havana user...

Thanks for reminding me about a superb ink that I haven't had in the rotation lately, Georges.

Thanks for sharing, nice colour.

[Raynewolf]

It's the color that I use in my Vanilla Visconti VG Midi. To my eye, it's the perfect color for the pen.

I have a Lamy 2000 with fine nib and although I don't like Havana as a rule, I wouldn't put anything else in this pen, they are a perfect match.

I've been using this in my Pelikan M400 Honey White (F) with excellent results.... I find that it suits the pen well.

Good review of a nice ink colour. On my screen this ink seems similar to J. Herbin Cacao du Brésil. I have an old bottle of Waterman brown that labels as 'brown', not 'Havana brown' and the colour is more yellowish than this brown. So I suppose that Waterman changed the formula together with the bottle shape and the label.

I really like this color. It is pretty professional IMO

Thank you for a great review. Waterman Havana is one of my all time favorite inks. I am currently using it in my medium Lamy Studio and it works great in that pen.

A great review ( thanks for taking the time to do a written one, they are always so much nice and informative) of the classic brown among fountain pen inks. The behavior and color -stunning contrast specially when used on off-white and cream papers- makes it a regal product for fpner's.

Very nice review of a superb ink. I tend to favor blue inks in various shades but really like this shade of brown. I really like Waterman Ink of almost any color.

I just got this ink yesterday before reading the review.

Tawanda, why do you consider the Lamy 2000 and Havana a perfect match?

I like the color and most of the behavior of this ink, but when I tried it the ink would show a greenish tinge when put to paper after a moment of not writing. Just the shortest period of thinking between sentences would result in some separation and green color for the first couple of letters. Have others experienced this behavior?

Thanks for the review. I have been using Havana Brown for some months and really like it. I had tried a brown a couple of years ago, but it was wishy-washy. The Waterman brown lays down a nice rich color which I use for a variety of both business and personal notes to myself and to others. I enjoy the change from my usual Aurora Black and Blue.

For me, it is THE brown to have. Your review shows that wonderful shading. Thanks.

I use this ink often Often as a review ink for reports at work. It is different enough to make a statement without screaming correction!

Thank you for review. It looks like red brown on my screen. But not even near to Sailor Red-Brown that I bought recently; Sailor is orange, but it is one of the best inks I have.

[PianoMan14]

One of my all-time favorite inks to use with a stub nib.

 

On ivory paper it is just...

 

aaah....

 

indescribable!
