Nakaya Long Cigar

[sallywally]

I have the problem that I tend to be very pictographic and rarely read any review that has no pictures...I read yours even the punctuation signs! You really got my attention ! Now, I'm planning to order my next nakaya from Mottishaw...Nakata directly was problematic for me (language gap did not help at all!).

I have the long writer and although my hands are not big, this pen (uncapped of course) is a DREAM!

I'm glad you got one.

I am glad to hear this - I have a small hand also and am waiting for a Nakaya long cigar Heki Ascending dragon (see my avatar photo) and have worried it might be too big for me, even though I never post the caps on my pens anymore. Thanks for that information! :clap1:

Here are pictures of the long cigar in my hand. Because it is soooo light, it does not bother me at all although it may look awkward in my hand. I got it [oniline] about 2-3 yrs ago from a store in Kuala Lumpur and it was the only size available and apparently in the elastic nib (see my avatar). I was initially disheartened by the size, but quickly got used to it and the "Zen" beauty of the pen.

pen looks a bit darker than what really it is

Alvarez,

 

I got my long cigar, and it is wonderful in my hand....somehow a great sense of belonging and warmth results when I've written with it awhile.

 

There was a minor change in the urushi from the photo I ordered from, and Nakaya has said to send it back (via Classic Fountain Pens) and they'll adjust it.

 

My only problem is that I haven't been able to get myself to send it back, and it's been a month since they agreed to do this!

 

Here is a photo of my pen closed , and the Dragon I ordered pictured on Classic Fountain Pens' site :

Oops, wrong photo - this is red, mine's heki:

Sally that's one of the most beautiful pens I've seen in my life. One day, I'll be able to own something similar to it... one day.

Makes a fellow want another super special occasion Nakaya. That does it! I've decided to change my birthday to November 7th so if I order one first thing tomorrow it'll be here on Friday, Saturday at the latest.

Good grief this thread really really impulses me to buy one.

 

Great pics all round, too!

Your pen is beautiful and I agree, John is amazing. I just had a nib exchange done with him with my portable writer that I got earlier this year. I now have a double broad stub with added flex. this nib is incredible, so much line variation, smooth as butter but oh so much feel..Amazing.

I hope you have many years of enjoyment out of it!
