JR Pocket Pen: Special Edition

At the end of September, a controversial thing happens. The pumpkin latte arrives at nearly every coffee shop and cafe. Whether you love it or hate it, it IS a phenomenon of the 21st century. Most likely, the pumpkin latte is here to stay and from now until the end of October it will be the drink of choice for millions of people around the world.

In New Jersey, the home of Esterbrook, pumpkins have always been a big part of the fall season. Pumpkin patches all over the state are visited by families for hayrides, corn mazes, petting zoos and for choosing pumpkins to decorate for Halloween and trick or treating. While some of those pumpkin farms may now serve pumpkin lattes, they have been serving up family traditions for decades.

In celebration of these time-honored places, Esterbrook has brewed up a little something of their own.

Introducing the JR Pumpkin Latte. It’s their way to mix a little bit of their home state’s heritage with a morning cup of Joe.

Journaler Nib: The Esterbrook Custom Nib Program is our way to highlight exceptional American nibmeisters and we've asked some of the most prominent and exceptional nibmeisters in our community to create nibs to be a part of Esetbrook's storied legacy. Gena Salorino of the Custom Nib Studio in Los Angeles has created the first edition. An apprentice to nibmeister John Mottishaw of Nibs.com for nearly four years, Gena's nib work is derived from his style, but as she's established Custom Nib Studio, her signature nibs have become well-known in the marketplace for her own trademark style and beautiful handmade quality.

In her own words, the custom nib Gena is grinding for Esterbrook is a "medium stub grind, based on the vintage Esterbroook 9314M nib. The idea is that it's smooth and friendly enough for everyday use, gives your writing some flair, all without being too huge for practical writing". Available for the Standard and Oversized Estie's as well as the new Camden, Gena's custom nib has an MSRP of $50. This nib will replace your standard nib. Meaning, your pen will come with just this nib and not as a second nib unit.

Scribe Nib: The Scribe Nib is a modified Architect nib that is smoother and more user friendly to those who do not need the sharpness of the true Architect nib. Esterbrook developed this nib with Josh Lax over a period of months so it is fun and exciting and adds another unique nib/writing experience to the line up. Available for the Standard and Oversized Estie's, Josh's custom nib has an MSRP of $60. This nib will replace your standard nib. Meaning, your pen will come with just this nib and not as a second nib unit.
