On July 16, 2026 my Orange Monteverde Regatta (Extra Fine) joined its comrades when it was filled with Paradise Pen Autumn Orange. The pen was in use for about 3 months and was emptied and cleaned on October 13, 2026, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

Nothing special here. I don’t have an orange in rotation, I have not used this orange before, and I wanted to use another pen my wife gifted me.

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

Again, nothing special. I still have an odd view of orange ink. It’s nice, and it complements the blues I like quite well, but I still find that I don’t often use it.
