  3. It would be awesome if it relates to the theme, but not required.

  1. I'm glad to finally get to try out an R&K ink. It looks like ketchup to me, and that's pretty cool.

  2. A great selection overall! De Atramentis Mahatma Gandhi especially looks fascinating.

    Off topic: Brian, with all the new Noodler's Ahab colours coming in, will the older ones be phased out? I'm specifically referring to the new Cardinal Darkness and Arizona, which I'm interested in getting.

  3. I thought I was going to hate the De Atramentis Gandhi ink, but I am in love! A second order may be in my future this week... Thanks for including such a beautiful color I would have never tried on my own!

  5. Gandhi seems to be the hit this month! I wouldn't have guessed that, I'm just glad we can still mix things up a bit ;) As for the Ahabs, I don't know of anything being phased out yet, Nathan just keeps adding to the existing offerings.
