After a long wait I got my Aurora Nobile LE.
I never imgined I will enjoy it as much as I do.
I can stop using it,this pen has a charm I cant refuse.I never use my LE pens for too long but this pen is different.
It feels as if it was molded especialy to my hand.
Now I know exactly what people mean when they say Aurora nibs has a toothiness quality.This nib is no different.I actualy got the chance to try an Aurora Optima yesterday and the feeling of the nib was almost identical to mine.
This is my first Aurora pen and for sure not my last.

Wow that is a sweet pen, congrats!! I love that the pattern on the gold ring at the back of the pen is duplicated in the pen material toward the front.
It is a beautiful pen. Congratulations. I don't have an Aurora--was what I was thinking about maybe getting when I got the Omas. Perhaps an Aurora will be my next purchase. The continued comments about them being "toothy," however, made me a little Aurora-shy. You said your new Aurora is toothy, but you say it won't be your last Aurora. I take it toothy is a good thing? To me, toothy means "scratchy," which I equate with being bad. Now that you're a proud Aurora owner who, I know, likes Omas nibs, can you elaborate on the good qualities of a nib being toothy?
I only have the Aurora Ipsilon, but it has the Aurora character of the nib - lovely feel.
Oh and if I may correct You, since I saw that You spell the pen`s name "Nobeli" it is Nobile (Noh-bee-le).

Read my review and you will be able to understand what I mean.
This is a wonderful nib but not as good as my Omas Paragon.

Thank you for correcting me,spelling and names were never my strong side in English
I am intrigued by the way Aurora cut threads at the very end of the section, near the nib. This leaves the gripping surface smooth for the user. I'm sure this enhances the smooth feel of the pen. Neat!
I think the combination of wood grain ebonite and gold is aesthetically stunning. The pen has a look of vintage quality. I also like the threading being located at the bottom of the section. That placement gives the barrel and section a look of continuity. It reminds me of the barrel of a Waterman Liaison (kinda, sorta).
Congrats! This is a great looking pen.
