The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Why You Should Buy All Your Pens From Cult Pens!!!!

Hi Folks,   

I occasionally have a comment about businesses that I think we should all know about. Yes, these are usually businesses that go above and beyond for customer service or have amazing prices. I have found a new one, Cult Pens.

I decided I wanted to buy another fountain pen that I don't
need. And, this one is a little pricey. By chance, I read a comment on Fountain Pen Network about Cult Pens and their great prices and service. At first, I was a little skeptical.

How is it, that a company in the UK can sell me a pen at a much lower price than I can buy from a US-based dealer? Actually, I can't answer the economics of it all....what I do know is this.

A well-known and respected US pen business list the M1000 with a special price of  $828. Yes, $828. The same pen from Cult Pens, including shipping from the UK, is costing me $417! Amazing, I would say.

The pen I'm buying is a Pelikan M1000. Yes, this is what is called a flagship pen. A huge giant of a pen. I have a Montblanc 149 which is Montblanc's flagship pen that I've always referred to as baseball-bat sized. These are large pens.

Now to the good part, if you will, about exemplary customer service. I asked that they check the pen. Make sure that it's not scratchy and no skipping and such. Well, got an email today, and in my words, they said that they checked both extra-fine (the size of the point/nib) pens they had in stock and they weren't happy with them and were sending them back to Pelikan and ordered more. This surely saved me a lot of aggravation.

If you folks need a pen go to Cult Pens. And, for any of you who don't own a fountain pen, Hey, go to Cult Pens and buy one.
