    No this is not click bait. Unfortunately The Odd Oink is no longer able to be a part of the show due to conflicting schedules. I'll explain more in the episode. In the meantime, I talk about retailer and brand loyalty, a concept that I myself have been dealing with in the recent months. I am interested in your options after hearing the episode.

    Episode 187: Spilling the ink latte with Bryce from Luxury Brands of America

    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.

    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. With the purchase of this pen, a percentage of the proceeds has been donated to the Rainforest Trust, ensuring that these beautiful animals and landscapes are here to stay for generations to come!

Kate from BENU

Roy and Tom,
I really enjoyed this episode interviewing Kate from BENU.
I looked up their website so I could see a picture of Kate and she’s adorable! I’m always highly impressed how people from other countries speak English so well, and that she does. And she had some very interesting things to say about her company, without the politics.
I’m sure it is a very daunting time for her and Alex and their families and employees. I certainly wish them the best.
I have several BENUs…It’s the only fountain pen that I have that glows in the dark and that’s so cool. My first BENU ✨ is still my very favorite. The Hexagon D. It is stunning pen, just gorgeous. And my ears picked up when you mentioned Schmidt nibs, Roy.
I favor Western or German nibs the most because I love a thick heavy line of ink.I think Schmidt nibs are underrated, they’re excellent nibs.
This was a very enjoyable podcast to listen to. Thanks to you and Tom, and Goldspot for the discount opportunity that I have used and appreciate.

Enjoy the Lively Convos

Love listening to the banter between these two and occasionally get some good pen info. Ha! Have been surprised sometimes that I agree w these guys who use/review WAY more pens etc than I, having sometimes thought I was being too particular (really…3 cap turns on a pocket pen?!?) as a relative newbie to the pen community. Helps me realize I’m not off base too much afterall. But beware, if the “potty mouth” language Roy warns you about bothers you, may not be for you. For me, keeps it real. Oh, & don’t forget to #firetom

Doomedron ,

They occasionally get around to pens …

But they are always fun! Fire Tom 😀!
