Is the Petit Prince series done then, or is this something in addition?

 

~ Uncial:

 

In addition to the Heritage series.

Personally I am surprised that the Egyptomania pieces warranted a mention when other future releases are far more striking. Wait till you see them!

 

Ah well, each has his own taste and priorities :)

I share your feelings.

I'd have expected other Montblanc 2020 releases to receive more interest in Latin America than the comparatively routine Egyptomania series.

I guess that shows once again how little I understand the taste and interests of others.

In any case, 2020 will be a memorable year for all of those who appreciate Montblanc's Hamburg artistry.

I confess that I am a little lost in this topic. Within the restrictions of this forum, without breaking rules, can anyone indicate what this Egyptomania is about?

Well, the POA is devoted to Aztec (!).

I believe that is not related to inks, but a new collection of pens - as far as I know.

~ Very possibly the Heritage Egyptomania models will be accompanied by a Montblanc scented ink.

Not finished, will continue on. There is one that looks similar to the discontinued 146R which I'm keen on, the first for me & the PP Series!

The Heritage Egyptomania pens look very nice and it looks like they will share the same excellent soft nib with the triangular breather hole that the previous Heritage pens had (1912 and Rouge et Noir). They appear essentially to be the same construction as the Rouge et Noir - slim profile with a lacquered metal barrel and metal section - but a different barrel and cap/clip design. I guess the filling system will be the same captive converter type too.

 

If this is right then it will likely have a very nice quality feel, though not everybody favours such a slim pen. I hope that Montblanc has improved the seal of the cap, as the Rouge et Noir pens are prone to drying-out, at least in my experience. This pen looks like it has a similar cap fitting in that the threads are at the nib end of the section.

 

I hope I’m not breaking any rules speculating about some of the features like the nib and body shape, based on what I can see from googling photos of the pens. I am unsure where the line is regarding “posting distinctive details” of pens not yet released.

~ The scented ink for the Egyptomania releases may very likely be a blue hue tending toward blue-green.

      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

      @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
