Montblanc A4 Notebooks And Writing Pads

[adim]

Hi all!

 

Did anyone get to test the A4 notebooks and writing pads from Montblanc, including the loose sheets refills for them?

 

I'm referring to these:

https://www.montblanc.com/en/collection/refills/leather-refills/6711-Notepad-A4.html

 

I'm almost certain the general consensus is that cheaper and better paper can be bought; but I did not find any details not even on the official website, regarding paper quality etc.

 

I do have a 146 notebook from Montblanc which I really love and if the paper in these notebooks is similar in quality, it would instantly become a favourite for me. Sadly, I have no option to test it and wouldn't really buy one just for testing, so I thought I should ask. I reckon the lack of information and reviews (including the lack of details from MB themselves) should probably answer it in the negative for me, but anyways, I thought I should ask here as well.

The few montblanc notebooks i have tried have not been able to handle my fountain pens. If possible, go to the boutique with your pen and make a dot on the last page on a corner to see if its going to work.

Which models have you tried, if you can remember?

 

The guy here explains that the 145, 146 and 149 have different paper quality and he details on the 149, which seems to handle everything quite well:

 

Also, I have a 146 notebook which performs great, even with my 149 pen with a broad nib, so I'm surprised to hear that they didn't work well for you.

 

However, I have a feeling that the A4 notebooks and pads are different from all the soft bound 145, 146, 149 notebooks, that's why I started the discussion, mainly for those A4 models.

The info in this video is incorrect. Now on the Montblanc website, #145 has 70 gsm paper, #146 has 85gsm, #148 has 70gsm, #149 has 85gsm now.

Thanks for the clarification!

 

Nevertheless, I'm still interested in the A4 version, of which I found almost zero information or reviews.
