In this episode, we catch up with Bryce Gillett from Luxury Brands of America, who also happens to sponsor this multi-dozen-dollar podcast empire. "Biryce" spills the tea about the acquisition of Laban Pens in the USA, and hypothesizes about why the Platinum 3776 Chai Latte is selling so well. Is there such a thing as too much sparkly Benu? Find out in this fun interview.   If you'd like to shop for a new pen or try to get Tom fired, head over to our retail sponsor, Goldspot Pens at: https://goldspot.com/?aff=3 Listen to the sponsorship section to get a discount code for 10% off throughout the Goldspot Pens store. *Excludes Sailor, Retro 51, Montblanc, Visconti, Edison Pen Co., Esterbrook, Narwhal, Leonardo, and TWSBI products.* Also, be sure to put #firetom in the order comments and you might get a special Pentertainment Podcast sticker with your order.   You might be able to still find the Platinum 3776 Shape of a Heart Chai Latte at pen retailers like Goldspot when they arrive in March/April of 2024. The third in the "Shape of a Heart" special editions, "Chai Latte" has a matte finished resin body and cap with warm, cozy colors accented with rose gold trims and a 14kt rose gold nib. The cherry on top is the literal crown of the pen. The cap's finial has a dome that encloses zirconia with three gold hearts that were punched out from the nib manufacturing process. Gorgeous! Only 2,000 pens made.   Plus, the wait is almost over for the Endless Alchemy inks. The Alchemy ink bottle designs "ink"-courages you to play with your ink. Each bottle includes a special base. On one side of the base, you can tilt the bottle and roll it on its side. On the other side of the base, the bottle stands upright to allow direct vertical access into your ink.   Ballpoint pens suck. But, if you're going to write with a ballpoint pen, you might as well write with one that helps save the cute animals in the rainforest.    This Rainforest Retro51 is a Luxury Brands of America exclusive and is limited to 500 units worldwide. Inspired by the animals in the rainforest, Luxury Brands wanted to create a pen that you would love and give back some love to the world. With this in mind, Luxury Brands of America has partnered with the Rainforest Trust, one of the world's leading Rainforest and Endangered Species Conservation organizations, and is now a member of the Rainforest Trust Corporate Conservation Circle.

Tom and I discussed one of our first beloved pens in this week's pen discussion when we started the fountain pen hobby. Then, as we talked about a variety of Edison pens, we started a debate.

Tom shares some of his experiences at the Lamy and Pelikan factories in Germany to describe the differences in manufacturing pens.   We'd love to read your comments and answer your pen (and fish) questions on a future episode.

Each pen is crafted in the corresponding mineral's color with BENU's signature splash of sparkles and comes complete with a leaflet sharing the background story.    BENU is thrilled to introduce these new designs, showcasing the mesmerizing beauty and symbolism of these remarkable stones!

In this episode, we talk about the passion that goes into making fountain pens. From the brushstrokes on a hand-painted pen design to the team that dreams up the next greatest flex nib fountain pen. We also discuss the Platinum Curidas experiment conducted by Adam of "An Ink Guy" on YouTube. You can find the results of the experiment here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZKc2WP3wCs   Oh, and by the way, here's a behind the scenes video that Montblanc published about making the new Van Gogh limited edition pen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItuRIQoD1gU   We'd love to read your comments and answer your pen (and fish) questions on a future episode.

Platinum built these retractable fountain pens to perform as well as the popular Pilot Vanishing point while being less costly. Find the new Platinum Curidas Matte at Goldspot Pens or your preferred Platinum Pen retailer today.

You know how they say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," right? Well, I say, "When in Paris, buy pens and eat baguettes!" In this episode, Tom and I chat about my recent trip, the "souvenirs" I brought back, and how my digestive system is handling the maelstrom of breaking ketosis.

Limited to 500 pieces, the Talisman "Lavender" has a rich, purple, shimmering design and is made with real lavender in the body of the pen. I hope it will smell like lavender! A pre-order option is now available at some retailers.

This week, Tom and I hit the mailbag hard to answer your questions and respond to your comments on YouTube.

Tom and I kick off this week's episode with a dark discussion about Platinum's blackest black ink - Chou Kuro. Will it be a stainer like Baystate Blue? Will you need to visit a pharmacy every time you clean the pen? I talk about a new pen that came from Niv at Monteverde called The People of the World. Plus, we tease a new exclusive pen design that will appear soon on the Goldspot Pens website.   Name my new betta fish! There will be a giveaway prize for the winner!

 Chou Kuro is the blackest ink ever created from Platinum in its 104-year history!

This ink will be released in a limited edition set of 1,000 units first. The limited edition set will include: • Chou Kuro bottle ink with an ink reservoir • 1 Silver Converter • １ Cleaning Purified water 250ml • １ Cleaning Dropper • １ Instruction Manual   Don't forget to check out brlcoffeeco.com for the latest and greatest in coffee from my good friend Neil.

While we do start out the episode talking about breeding shrimp and Bryce's jailbroken betta fish, Tom shares a dissatisfying flex nib experience. It was like being served cold pizza after waiting 2 hours. You'll see. It will make sense. Or, maybe not.

Instead, he put Tom on the spot to talk about the Benu Talisman Sakura coming back into stock at Goldspot. It's a beautiful pink and blue swirling pen with glittery flowers suspended in the custom resin. Only Benu can make such opalescent pens like this. The second half of this limited edition design is coming in Mid-May and will sell out quickly.

After dealing with two separate illnesses, the boys are back to record a new episode to catch up on all the great goings-on in the pen world. Although, how do you top the introduction of the greatest pen ever made in the history of anything made...ever? Answer: you don't. You only make accessories (like the Endless Companion leather pen case) for the greatest pen ever made. So, now that the entire pen industry is ruined, we could only talk about different topics - like fish, and the Last of Us Finale (spoilers at the end of the episode).   If you'd like to shop for a new pen or try to get Tom fired, head over to our retail sponsor, Goldspot Pens at: https://goldspot.com/?aff=3 Use promo code BETTA to get an additional 10% off throughout the Goldspot Pens store. *Excludes Sailor, Retro 51, Montblanc, Visconti, Edison Pen Co., Narwhal, and TWSBI products.* Also, be sure to put #firetom in the order comments and you might get a special Pentertainment Podcast sticker with your order.   The new Colorverse Ink Project Volume 6 will be a stellar addition to your ink collection.

People made fun of Kevin Thiemann for having poor handwriting. So, naturally, he built a business designing and selling fountain pens to prove the haters wrong.

Coming soon from Luxury Brands of America (US distributor for Waldmann, Germany) is the "Titan" - a pen made from solid titanium with a sandblasted matte finish. As you can imagine, I love it and I think you will, too. That is if you can get one (of two hundred pens made worldwide) before they sell out.

In this week's episode, we have not one, but two guests who have been in the hobby of collecting pens for much longer than Tom and I combined. Mario Campa and Michael Bloom run the New York Metropolitan Pen Show (formerly known as the Long Island Pen Show). From squirting ink all over each other in grade school to selling five-figure fountain pens in the hot basement of a Times Square hotel, they've seen it all. It's an enlightening conversation into the business of running a pen show (spoiler: it's not as easy as you think!).   The next NY Metropolitan Pen Show will be held at Hofstra University in Long Island on April 22-23.
