Noodler's Cayenne

Recommended Posts

This is a review of Noodler's Cayenne, however there is a caveat. I accidentally dipped a pen that I thought had been emptied of Noodler's Navy. I'd emptied it, but not washed it. So the review was written with slightly tainted ink, though I don't think it was bad at all, and certainly not noticeable to my eyes. Just needed to disclose that.

 

So knowing that, onto the review.

I love Noodler's Cayenne. Nice review. Grow cayenne peppers and let them go a little beyond maturity and when smashed the skins do resemble ketchup while the pulp and inner skin layers bleed out to a orangish-yellow. I think that Nathan nailed this color.

 

Cayenne is a great color for annotations and is more punchy than Antietam, IMHO.

 

You need to acquire more inks to review. I like your format. You, Signum, KCat . . easily my favorite reviewers. Although everyone brings something to the table.

Nice job! Until very recently, Cayenne was my only red or orange ink. I have always liked it a lot, even though I find uses for it to be few and far between. I should probably keep a pen inked with it for the occasional edit of hard copy (ink-stained wretch, uh, editor here). I love the bright color and I sometimes get really nice shading from it.

 

The biggest downside of Cayenne for me is very long dry times, especially on your better grades of paper such as Clairefontaine and Rhodia.

I like everyone who takes the time to make a review of an ink, not matter how in depth, but boy howdy could I look at Signum and CarpeDavid's reviews all day long. :puddle: :puddle:

I forgot about CarpeDavid's reviews. Good stuff.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
