I recently was told by multiple MB SA that Boheme line is for females? My wife got me a black ballpoint with the blue stone years ago that i misplaced, kind of makes sense since its so small, is this right?

I say no, it isn't.

What a wonderful chart. I love my Boheme Bleu with retractable nib. It is such a great/solid carry on the go!

I bought my first Boheme blue jewel retractable nib just last week... It came and was tiny. Def a ladies pen, not sure about the large.

Thank you for creating this chart! I recently purchased Montblanc Boheme Rouge fountain & rollerball pens from different collectors. It will be interesting to see what I get.

This really is an amazing resource -- weighing in late -- but grateful for the product and the work that went into it. Regarding the question by Waltz for Zizi, isn't it true that all Boheme models are discontinued?

Well the Boheme is listed on Montblanc's website only as a watch now. A real shame, these are beautiful little pens.

Thank you for the contribution! Will the same color patterns shown in the chart apply to rollerballs?

Hmmm - just flushing my Solitaire Carre Citrine and notice that it has a rhodium-plated 18ct nib instead of the two-tone that's on the chart. Anyone come across that? I didn't buy it new, admittedly, but everything else seems ok.

 

Will try to post some pix later.

I bought my first Bohème Bleu in a Montblanc boutique, and the nib was 18k instead of 14k.

 

Sometimes Montblanc uses different nibs, I don't know why.

Thank you, Leftyjo. It's worse than that though, now I really look at it - a14ct rhodium-plated nib instead of an18ct two-tone one. Doesn't go with the pen at all!

The moongarden seems impossible to find.

 

Do keep looking - I've got one and it's much more beautiful than any photo has captured.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
