You two could not be better matched. Not only you both are a terrific match as enthusiasts, but you both have distinctive tastes that are different than the other, making these videos a blast to watch. I’ve been into fountain pens now for only 6 years, and I have to say the Benu Firefly is shockingly beautiful. Leila, TALK ABOUT AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY! Although I could afford that nice of a pen, I feel compelled to wait for a Benu pen that I believe is on the horizon…..it’s some kind of commemorative pen to their new place of business: Armenia. Do either of you, via your connections, know when this pen is supposed to drop? I try not to overspend on this fun hobby, but a Benu pen commemorating Armenia would be a must for me.
Oh, no....I need to make another trip down to Colombia from PA 🙂 for that simply beautiful BENU! Not that I mind much. I have grown to love BENU as well and this one is in my signature color (purple). Oh, BTW, I also carry a fluorite stone in my pocket to ground me when needed.
Seeing you enjoy this milestone in your life is actually thrilling Leila. Love too, as a fellow manager, that you sought out thoughts and input from your team on something so personally important to you. That’s real leadership. All the best to you, Laura and the rest of the Pen Boutique crew.
I loved this episode! So excited for the Benu exclusive, designed by Leila & Team PB! Also loved the Superlatives and so happy you included the Pilot Metropolitan. I’ve collected a fair amount of pens after being inspired by you two, but that Pilot Metropolitan is still my favorite writer 💗 Cheers! And Laura, Sagamore Distillery has a great tour!
I love BENU pens. I own four of them and am probably will get this one. They always write perfectly. I have several pens inked at a time and this brand never disappoints. It doesn't dry out and ink flows so nice. I also have a 1970 Waterman that still writes as good as new. I need that Firefly!! Really enjoy your videos. Can you help with how to know if one brand nib can be put in another brand pen? Thanks for these insights.
Congratulations on bringing your dream to fruition, Leila! I look forward to seeing the pictures and reading Laura’s blog. Perhaps this will be my first Benu Talisman?

Fluorite twins! And I can't wait to see you in store again!

That is so kind of you to say that, Ben. I really appreciate it. I really did want everyone to feel involved in the process.

The Metropolitan definitely deserved to be included for sure! It was a toss up between best teacher and teacher's pet.
Great show. Congratulations, Leila!

I can definitely try to help. If I don't know the answer, I'll find it. What pen are you looking to put a different nib into?
A lotta folks aren't hip to Ledo's but they've got the best pizza this side of the coast!
Agreed!
Greate show..
Leila's observation on the lines on the Waterman reminded me of this ad, very militaristic: ruclips.net/video/7lt4u1hAy-E/видео.html
Interesting comparison!

Thank you so much! It's been surreal! I'm posting more pics of Firefly Stone on the store IG today!
