Private Reserve Chocolate

Recommended Posts

Along with others' suggestions, may I offer Diamine Chocolate Brown? My 4-item personal ink-sample review process says it's 70% dark chocolate. :wub:

I always enjoy your reviews, Sandy1. Thanks and keep them coming!

You're welcome!

 

OOTE continues, but other inks are queue jumpers, oh well ...

Sandy, I am new to this culture of pens, paper and inks. I read your entire review, and learned so much. Thank you for investing so much time on such an incredibly detailed document. I will look at your past review, and wait for your upcoming ones. Thanks!

Thanks for this one, Sandy - !

 

I've been wondering about this ink vs. other "chocolate" inks from J.Herbin, Noodlers, etc.

 

- your personal thoughts and commentary always provide helpful insight with this subject matter.

Hi,

 

You're welcome!

 

I too often think about chocolate, but not often in terms of ink. :rolleyes:

 

I think what we are presented with are inks reminiscent of sweet milk / milky chocolate, rather than the high cocoa content chocolate that seems to be gaining popular appeal.

 

And from a pure marketing standpoint, I would name a brown ink 'chocolate' rather than 'squished squid sepia'.

As always, a great review. Currently, this ink is in my TWSBI (three consecutive refills with this ink). Two minor points:

  1. The name is Private Reserve Chocolat, not Chocolate.
  2. The bottle shape has changed to to a taller and narrower format.

Hi,

 

Glad you like the Review and the ink!

 

Thanks for the heads-up on spelling. I'll add it to my spell chequer.

 

Bottle Shape:

  • Ah, while my bottle is not so recent, IIRC, the
    Fast Dry
    inks are in packaging with the taller and more narrow form factor: bottle height of 65mm, box size 58x70x41mm. Perhaps all have been changed.
  • As there is a Fast Dry version of Chocolat_, please check to confirm - it may help consumers & sales staff if box/bottle labels are not clearly / obviously marked.

Click the link in my earlier post and scroll down below the fast dry inks and you'll see that Chocolat (and several others) is now in the taller bottles.

      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
