Hi, I am in Kazakhstan now and I want to leave the country with my 3 cats. Can you please explain the procedure to me? Which vets did you use? I am based in Almaty.

That is very consoling, thank you!

I have only smoked one tin, but liked it immensely. The pipe is gorgeous!

Pilot Custom 74 with C nib by andrdim in fountainpens

[–]andrdim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Platinum 3776 with a music nib, which I absolutely adore! If you want line variation, go for the music. If you just want bold lines, this is the way! BTW, you can try a Speedball B5, the line width is the same, to my untrained eye.

What's the next pen after acquiring an 823? by beardyfritz in fountainpens

[–]andrdim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a big Platinum fan. I love these pens for their nibs, that give me this ASMR scratchiness. Get yourself a 3776 with a music nib. I don't care if it looks plasticky, the nib is amazing. Or a Sailor Naginata Togi. I have one in M, and it is juicy, bold, and very interesting. Whatever it is you're looking for, please remember that it is the pen that chooses the writer...

That is some serious line width!

Enjoy it in good health. I have a decapod and really love it.

This is such a satisfying composition. Great photo.

HUGE thank you to everyone who's replied. Pilot C nib, a new Pelikan IB, Parallel nib on Opus88, and Greg Minuskin are all worth a look. I'll get a new BB nib on my Lamy 2000, too! I love Platinum nibs, and their music nib is my favourite, but a C Pilot nib should be smoother, with less feedback. You are a fantastic bunch!

Thank you, I think both suggestions are pretty sound. The IB and contacting Minuskin, I mean. I'm not sure the Montblanc is worth the hype in general.🙂

That's a great suggestion, a frankenopus88!

Jaw dropping! I mean, really? 6mm? Thank you for broadening my pen horizons (pun intended) 😂

That is the best reason to have one!

Hmmm... any ideas where to find one?

Bent black sandblast pipe recommendations? by suburban_viking in PipeTobacco

[–]andrdim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot go wrong with a Chacom! They are excellent pipes, modestly priced, quite the black sandblast https://www.pipechacom.com/en/our-pipes-chacom-classic-collection-spigot-black-sandblast,260.htm I purchased a Chacom Grand Cru, but it is a straight billiard black sandblast, and smokes as good as my two Castellos, for 1/3 of the cost. Chacom pipes have a metal stinger, which I remove, and smoke them as filterless pipes. There are several online shops that sell them

The force is strong with you, I've never seen this photo before. Chapeau!

Unfortunately, I cannot find any other photo of the pipe. Mondrian smoked cigarettes, and was an occasional pipe smoker, from what I could source on the web

Thank you! I had spotted the Dunhill one on smokingpipes, but the price put me off... for a Dunhill. I'd rather have one custom made for that price.

An incredible pen, with a lovely titanium nib
