Ink Review #377: Monteverde Smoke Noir — Fountain Pen Pharmacist

Today I will be reviewing an ink that is new to this blog, but near and dear to my heart. Monteverde Smoke Noir was the first bottle that I purchased during pharmacy school. It served as my note-taking ink and was wonderfully smooth and unobtrusive.

Swabs:

This ink had low shading and low sheen. The color is a smoky grey similar to B grade lead.

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had an average dry time of 20 seconds and surprisingly high water resistance.

Writing Sample:

I found this ink to be wonderfully smooth and wet. It would work best in my finer nibs, and would be a great addition to the work and school-appropriate ink collection!

Overall: I adore this grey and am considering purchasing a full bottle. It brings back fond memories of being on rotations and overall is a great grey!
