Monteverde Smoke Noir - Ink Sample

Ink like pencil, very cool

Goes on black and dries to a graphite that looks almost like pencil. Really enjoyable to write with. Highly recommend.

Loved the color, the ink is drier than the coal noir, and leans a tiny bit dry, without being a dry ink.

Much darker than I expected. I was thinking this would be a bit more on the dark grey side, but it's much more charcoal-black. Almost like a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it's-not-actually-black." For reasons unknown, this ink also experienced a large amount of nib creep in a pen where other inks had stayed at bay.
