Recommended Posts

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.

The Boheme line was originally designed for, and marketed to, women.

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.

      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
