This is my first ink review, and I know my cursive is horrendous, but don't be too harsh

Thanks! I'd been hesitant, but now I'm adding this to my "want" list.

Very nice review. Bought some not long ago and I am really loving it. It's a very nice deep chocolatey brown. Hence its name.

This is definitely a nice color. I wonder how different it is from Noodlers Walnut?

My main fear is that, like most PR inks, it probably has a drying time that is too long for a left-handed over-writer such as me.

No, very quick drying time. Take it from me, because I'm a left handed over-writer, that's why my writing slopes to the left. Well, I write normally, then at about .25 ways into the line i turn into an under-writer, then snap into the over-writer position. So i'm a Hybrid

If Chocolat sits at the nib awhile (couple of weeks), it may dry out a bit, resulting in smudges because it paradoxically seems to get sticky. Remedy: dilute the ink. This improves the shading and the ability to dry without smearing. Especially for an over-the-line left handed writer.

Chocolat is truly one of my favorite browns! I is definately lighter than Noodlers Walnut and darker than Manuscript Brown.

While I'm still after Noodlers Walnut, this seems to be a close second Thanks for the review...
