Excellent scan and review of Havana Brown, a personal favorite. It's a great ink with only one con, it's lack of water resistance.

Good review, thank you.

 

Have used this for several years (off and on). It looks particularly great with a nice yellow writing paper. The one I have used in the past is an elegant Crane note paper with gold embossed design on the paper.

 

Have received many nice comments and compliments about the paper. Only have one or two sheets left so I am keeping them for something special.

 

Just a suggestion that you consider using another color of writing paper with coordinated color of ink.

It was my favorite brown for a long time until I wandered of to darker tones and found satisfaction in PR Chocolat. For some time now that ink has a bit too much drying time for me and when the two remaining bottles of it are empty (which shouldn't take too long) - guess to which ink I will return? Yes, Waterman Havana Brown.

This is my favorite brown. On a Rhodia pad, it really stands out. Thanks for the great review.

Thanks for a great revue. This ink is one of my favorites due to its behavior and easy clean up in vintage pens.

It is good in modern fountain pens but in vintage ones if the pen isn't cleaned regulalrly after having used it, it can create clogs and make inkflow problems.

Thanks for the review, this was my first brown ink, I love it initially but when I look back on writing that is about 6 months old I find it turns slightly reddish to the point that I need to check my pen log to see if I was writing with Havana or a Burgundy.
