It seems they run group buys (they call them "drops") for Pilot Metropolitans pretty frequently with most of them being 2 pens for around $25 shipped. Not a bad deal, but only slightly cheaper...

    In the market for a new fountain pen? Namisu Orion

    Thought this was a pretty decent deal for a modern fountain pen and thought I'd share. Namisu had a successful Kickstarter campaign last year for the Nexus Minimal Fountain Pen. Kind of reminds me of some of Porsche Design's products, but quite a bit cheaper! There latest rendition is the...

    Cheap pipe rest that doubles as a tobacco drying bowl!

    Picked up a ceramic Oggi spoon rest at Bed, Bath, & Beyond the other day for a whopping $1.99. Makes a great little bowl to dry your tobacco out in, then after you load your pipe, it doubles as a pipe rest! They had both black and white, but I couldn't find these on their website to link here.
