Featuring a rich maroon barrel complemented by a gold clip and trim, this pen exudes sophistication with its classic cigar-shaped design reminiscent of premium luxury pens. The glossy maroon finish paired with gold accents creates a timeless, professional aesthetic perfect for everyday writing and special occasions.

Equipped with a large #8 steel nib in fine point, this pen delivers precise, fluid writing with a smooth, consistent ink flow. The oversized nib is one of the pen's standout features, providing a generous writing experience that feels premium despite the affordable price. The steel nib is unscrewable for replacement, repair, or experimentation with different nibs.
