PEN REVIEW: Monteverde Limonada

Posted on by

When Margaret from Goulet Pens asked if I’d like to review the Monteverde Limonada and a Visconti ink, I replied with this:

I have zero experience with either the pen or ink and would love to review them. For the pen – I’m totally open on color – send me your favorite!   For the ink – any of the colors is fine with me – except the brown – because, you know, it’s brown 😉

Let’s look at the pen in detail today and save the ink for another day.

The Monteverde Limonada in Roma Gold is a rich satin-finished champagne color and it’s easy to see why it’s Margaret’s favorite color. It is only available with a medium nib. The pen arrives clipped to a detailed instructional sheet inside the thick paper/board box shown above. It also comes with an converter and two standard international short cartridges – one blue, one black.

I love the detailed instructions.

 

The Limonada is definitely on the slender side. The grip/section is shaped similarly to the Lamy Safari / Al-Star. These two things make me think this pen isn’t for everyone – especially those with larger hands. I didn’t find it uncomfortable, but it was perhaps a bit unbalanced when the cap was posted.

The clip is flexible and positioned quite high on the cap. When clipped in a shirt pocket, it rides low rather than poking up out of the pocket. The clip is also flared at the end – making it easy to slide onto a stack of papers.

Clairefontaine ends with an “e” – everyon knows that.

But how does it write?

Pretty good! It’s not the smoothest pen I own, but it’s not even a little scratchy. I definitely think the writing looks more like a western fine nib than a medium. There were no writing issues at all and the pen started right up – just the way it’s supposed to work. (This writing is done with Visconti Purple.)

Final thoughts . . .

At $28, the Limonada is a good value. I love that the converter and two cartridges are included. It writes well and I like that it comes in several different colors.

Having said that, this pen won’t replace my inexpensive pen of choice –  Lamy Safari. The Safari is $29.60 at Goulet Pens and does not include the converter. My other low-cost pick is the Pilot Metropolitan at just $15 (converter included).

Thanks to Goulet Pens for the opportunity to try the Limonada. They sent it free of charge and I promised to give my honest opinions.

Keep an eye out on Instagram for more pictures of this pen and ink in use.

    it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  47. Бесплатный melbet промокод на сегодня 2026 ищет каждый потенциальный клиент компании. Почему? Мало кто откажется от щедрой приветственной награды, позволяющей увеличить сумму первого депозита, заработав до ?9100 бонуса (с 24 апреля бонус увеличился до 50 000). Промокоды – это маркетинговый инструмент, с помощью которого рекламные партнеры букмекера привлекают новых бетторов. Поэтому в современной практике сам букмекер редко распространяет коды, за исключением флагманских акций или раздачи купонов в рамках специальных ивентов. Не все бонусы предполагают наличие рекламного кода. Для активации большинства из них достаточно просто пополнить счет или делать ставки на спорт, получая за это баллы активности. В последующем есть возможность в рамках программы лояльности БК «Мелбет» обменивать баллы на коды для бесплатных ставок (фрибеты) или на реальные денежные средства. Раздобыть промокод Melbet Вы всегда сможете на нашем сайте. При этом Вы можете быть уверенными в том, что это именно актуальное предложение. Также рекомендуем подписаться на информационную рассылку БК, где компания при помощи SMS и почтовых уведомлений держит в курсе событий любителей ставок.
