May Sponsor Spotlight

Key Largo, the latest from Narwhal, via Pen Chalet.

Sponsor support is very important to me here at The Pen Addict. My sidebar advertisers put their faith in me to deliver good value for them month in and month out, and I want to shine the light on the best of the best for you. If you are shopping for pens, paper, inks, and more, please check out these great companies and see what they have to offer. Some recent highlights:

JetPens received the bright and fun Opus 88 Demo Color fountain pen, which is sure to brighten up any day.

Pen Chalet has the Narwhal Key West fountain pens in stock, featuring two new colors representing the southernmost point of the continental US.

Goldspot has all of the new Retro 51 Vintage Metalsmith rollerballs in stock, including the sure to be popular Raw Brass model.

Vanness Pens received the new Esterbrook Estie in the Aqua/Gold colorway, which is a knockout matchup for the summer.

PIUMA Pocket Fountain Pen (Sponsor)

The new PIUMA Pocket Fountain Pen by California-based ēnsso, is the answer to the convenience of small pens without sacrificing comfort and writing experience.

Fit with a #6 nib, the titanium, brass, and aluminum barrels are compact when capped, and provide a full-length writing experience with the cap posted on the back of the pen.

The PIUMA Pocket starts at just $49 and is offered on Kickstarter at 40% discount of the future retail price. Pens will be shipped in July 2021.

My thanks to ēnsso for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
