The Pen Addict

Brad and Myke are joined by Ed Jelley to discuss one thing, and one thing only: J. Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor. This ink has us all captivated, and they went straight to the man who got the first bottle in the US. Discussion also focuses on Ed’s current loadout and favorite everyday inks, plus Brad’s recap of the week in pen news.
