Montblanc Modena Red

[Muncle]

Today is August 22, 2020, and I've just found out that Corn Poppy Red is no more. (It's been a rough few months.) How could Montblanc kill this most awesome ink off? Am debating whether to drop $60 for a bottle on ebay.

As sad as it is for it to disappear, there are scores of other reds on the market. Check out swabs in the comparisons forums, order some samples, find a new red you like and reward a different company for their efforts.

Dromgooles still carries it - https://www.dromgooles.com/montblanc-montblanc-bottled-ink-corn-poppy-red.html

 

might want to confirm that's what you get and not the Modena Red....

I am not necessarily anti the color as demonstrated here and elsewhere.

 

However, the dryness is a dealbreaker for me, I suspect.

I was sad too...I tried ordering a bottle on ebay a couple months ago but the seller sent me this blasted Modena Red instead so i had to get a refund.

I just happened upon this thread because it mentioned the awful new MB red. Just a heads up, Diamine Matadore is a duplicate, nearly exact of Corn Poppy. It's also a lot cheaper than remaining bottles of Corn Poppy with hiked up prices

Glad I read this review. I returned the bottle of Modena Red right away after purchasing it. Got myself that new MB Pop Pink color. It is a wonderful ink by the way.

 

Was able to track down a bottle of MB Corn Poppy Red. Amazing and eye searing Red. Love it in a nice stub nib.
