Long-time lurker, first time poster ~ but I'm such an ink-hound, this thread called to me today.

I was *just* reorganizing my inks a few hours ago and thinking about my current favorites.

Here are my current 5 top picks (in no order...)

Mont Blanc Alfred Hitchcock
Noodler's Aircorp Blue Black
Diamine Havasu Turqouise
Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-Syogun
PR Avacado

[thagbert]

It seems difficult for a lot of us to pick one single favorite. Different pens, different paper, different situations call for different inks!

Umm. You forgot number four.

[fountainpenkid]

Damn. Akkerman Treves Turquoise is quite something...it might actually appeal to me more than Asa Blue... but I'll never find a bottle so I can't put it on my list.

[earthdawn]

It looks a lot like the one Mont Blanc put out a while back .... beautiful color for sure!

Noodler's Black -- I like the bulletproof qualities and the greyish shading when used with broader, wetter nibs.
Sailor Jentle Blue-Black -- I believe this is an Iron-Gall ink. It's a beautiful blue-black with great flow and a reasonable amount of shading.
Diamine Ancient Copper -- When the ink is wet on the page it's almost a chestnut brown. As the ink dries, it becomes more copper in color. Truly a beautiful brown.
Waterman Florida Blue -- Excellent properties and behavior. It isn't the best looker, but it can be very captivating with broader nibs.
Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses -- Wow. Gorgeous shading on Rhodia. It's one of the more subtle purplish inks. More purple-blackish.

[Jon Szanto]

In an order that could only be described as "Alphabetically Sequential", I enjoy:

• Aurora Black
• Diamine Red Dragon
• Iroshizuku Kon-peki
• Private Reserve Sherwood Green
• Sheaffer Skrip Permanent Blue-Black (vintage)

Nice ink, might be my 2nd or 3rd choice for b/b ink, but... I do not believe it is an iron gall ink. Perhaps you have it confused with Pilot Sei Boku Nano Blue-Black Carbon.

Agreed as the Sei Boku is advertised as pigmented but the Jentle inks are just that, easy to wash it of your pens (I prefer the carbon ink)
