Thank you for such an entertaining and informative review.

I've never written with Montblanc Toffee Brown, therefore this was helpful to read.

The sketches are delightful!

Very entertaining review. Love it.

 

I have a bottle of this ink. Not my favorite at all. I just inked up my newly acquired pen with it and I already want to flush it out.

 

I like saturated inks and this brown is too relaxing for me.

@Enkida What a wonderful review!  Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Hey everyone! I inked up a pen with one of my last cartridges of MB Toffee Brown to see if I wanted to purchase a full bottle of it before the price hike / packaging switch / potential reformulation or discontinuation. The answer turned out to be no, but then I had a pen full of ink to get rid of. What better way to do that than a review amirite? This one is not as entertaining as my previous review. Blame the ink. It's not an entertaining ink! I also stopped halfway through the review because I had the bright idea to search for a solution to the Wateman Kultur nib dryout problem, and lo and behold, FPN answered (with "glue"). So I dropped everything, glued up my pen, and came back to this review two days later, hence the page break, and perhaps the slightly darker ink after the page break. n.B.: Lamy Safari caps fit on Waterman Kultur pens, in case you need to seal an inked pen in a pinch. :P

This has GOT to be the BEST review I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
This was better than a youtube video review...wow!!
EPIC!

For me paper does make a difference in I look for shading, which Toffee does on 90g or better paper.

(I imagine 80g Rhoda, but Rhoda is new to me since I last used this ink. & mine is 90g.)

 

The only place there was any shading, was on the Clairefontaine.... Triomphe or Velote? Triomphe is a bit slicker.

 

You have convinced me not to use it to mix. Sadly the 1/4th bottle is all I got left and I'm not paying E23.00 for a new bottle.:angry: I bought it back in the dark ages, new in the brand new big 60ml bottle at E13...up from small bottle E12.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

This is my favorite ink review format :)  Unfortunately I have Pilot Tsukushi and Ina-Ho I have to finish before I can buy another ink from that color...

      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..

      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
