I just came back from New Zealand today. The Auckland boutique is nice. They still got quite many bottles/cartidges of racing green and both 2007 & 2008 Xmas scented inks!

I picked up 3 bottles of each and I was praying they don't leak inside my luggage! Lucky they didn't! :D

Best regards, Kai

Impressive how many shops some of you have visited. As it was along my path, I went to Paris one, twice. For some reason I was well dressed the second time, and did not look like a student. They welcomed of me in a totally different manner.

 

I have travelled to Kazakhstan, and I must say that Almaty is a quite rich city (in terms of money, contrarily to the rest of the "-stans"), and I am not surprised Montblanc has a shop there.

 

Pens I use very often: Lamy Accent ("EF": fine), Lamy Accent ("1.1": medium italic), Pilot Custom ("FA": extra-fine flexible).

Which have you visited? Anyone been to either of the two in Kazakhstan?

 

Visited the MB Boutique in Westchester Mall a couple of days ago. Wearing chinos and a t-shirt. The staff there were really nice. Brought out several pens for me to examine and had a case of 145s with different nibs loaded up for me to try. Then they asked what I was carrying and tried it out themselves (Lamy 2000) and we talked pens in general for a short while. Very nice experience, certainly no hint of a brushoff.

Gosh, I was recently in Cancun, Guatemala, and PR and missed the shops! Maybe next time. Thanks for pointing these out.

Yes, it's in the same mall as the MB boutique. Both stores were friendly and pleasant places when my wife and I visited. They used to have a store at their corporate headquarters in Delray Beach.

 

I used to stop in the boutique in the Mall at Millenia in Orlando but only because the now-gone St. Hubert's pen store was there also. :crybaby:

the paris MB Boutique.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

The one in Toronto. Hope to visit a flagship some day.

 

How was the one in TO? I'm thinking on visiting my brother this fall who lives in Toronto to watch the Maple Leafs play and go to the MB Boutique. Two things I've always wanted to do.

I've never been to one either. I just looked it up and it turns out there are 2 MB boutiques in Sydney I knew nothing about.

The Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida has a beautiful Mont Blanc store that I visited for the first time today. I had bought 2 unknown MB pens which Michael Falcon identified as "Generation" pens. He showed me the correct converters to use and showed me the improvements to the converters compared to the one on my 1970's Noblesse. (Which still works fine after 40 years!) Of course, I looked at many of the beautiful pens and made a mental wish list for Christmas. I got to hold many of the pens I've seen mentioned on this forum. Michael said that their shop also repairs pens IN HOUSE so your pen won't be sent away for repairs. Beautiful shop and wonderful service.

      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
