The Conway Stewart, a beautiful and well made fountain pen indeed. You described that beautifully.
Which I cherish and use daily. I do have the Churchill heritage "Victory At All Cost" version in the blue color and also with a medium nib. This comes in a replica Winston Churchill's Red Cabinet Box, these are the brief cases used by ministers of the British Government to carry official paper. That makes the whole so appealing to the imagination and gives you food for thought.
Well, this one deserves a well-deserved place in my collection.
Hello My Friend! That sounds amazing. The box makes it. Very well chosen.
@@HemingwayJones Yes but the fountainpen also whit the picture of the pug on the top amazing
As always beautiful pen and fantastic video, what I really like is you don’t do comparisons or measurements, you give history along with your simple and yet very informative reviews.
Thank you, Jim! I am so glad that you liked it. I think I did give the measurements in here somewhere, or maybe that was the first one! Thanks!
HJ- thanks for another excellent video about the Churchill. Your enthuism is contagious, to the point that I am seriously thinking about possibly getting one for myself!!!! :):):)
Thank you Wolverine! You are the best. If you do, I still have the discount code available. It’s in the description. You have to get any break you can.
I enjoyed watching and hearing your additional thoughts on this pen. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for watching!
Awesome review. I love the closeups and different angles!
Thanks very much! B Roll is very important.
I have a Vintage black and dark green Conway Stewart 286 from the 1950. 14k gold flex nib. Bought for £30.
I love it in every way.
The vintage ones are great. Well done.
I recently watched this review of the Conway Stewart Churchill fountain pen. The review is extremely well done. It is interesting, includes relevant historical information, and is informative. To say it is above average as far as reviews go is an understatement. It is quite clear from watching the video that you put an enormous amount of time, effort and thought into the video. It is very creative. Conway Stewart was fortunate to have you review the pen.
You have been most diplomatic and kind regarding the “misunderstanding” that occurred subsequent to the review. Your handling of the situation speaks volumes as to your character. For such a great review, the least Conway Stewart could do is to let you keep the pen.
Thank you so much, Janis! I appreciate your kind words. Did you catch the original review as well? This was my magnum opus! Lol. 😂

The B-roll with that nice piece of paper and Churchill's words on it... *Chef's Kiss* Great video!!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that so much.
HJ, I stumbled across this video. I had seen your other one about the Honey Noire some time back. Different approaches, but both very good.
Thank you! The first one is one of my favorites!
It really is a beautiful pen. I was checking my collection and I only have one lever-fill myself, a Conway Stewart 28. I will definitely ink it up soon.
Hello Gino! Excellent. That is a beauty!
Hello from Northern Patagonia! Just wanted to say I’m packing my C. S. with me on this vacation. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! What a trip. Have a great time!
This is such a cool pen! Based on your review I ordered this pen in green. I got the lever fill since I wanted that complete vintage style pen. I also ordered the medium. Ink capacity doesn't bother me. I have the 80 ml Diamine ink bottles, so I'll be all British with this pen and its ink.
British Racing Green! Well done!
Great video. More on “troweling effect” please, as I have not heard that term before. Best wishes until the next video.
Thanks so much! Yes, so I did flooring to work my way through college and when you trowel grout or glue, you keep an eye on the edge and you push the material along in a specified pattern so you don’t get over extended or apply it uneven. It’s similar with ink. You keep the top pushing the ink along. Thanks!
One of the best features of the new Conway Stewarts is the range of materials. Pity MB and others don't do the same. Cheers to all from Wally of Woolloomooloo.
A very good point! Thank you very much!
Wonderful Wonderful round up. I have a few.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Well done, The Conway Stewart is a fine pen worthy of being in the company of Pelikan, Sailor, etc.
Thank you very much!
Greetings from Australia.
Great Video. One of my grails.
Thank you very much!
Fascinating commentary.
Thanks My Friend. I hope that all is well in your world.
TH-camr and author, Michael Jacks, introduced me to Conway Stewart. I have a couple of Winstons now and love them. CW pens demonstrate that beautiful British refinement. Mine are a great joy to use. Yes, the resin is special and the gold enhancement is just right.
Thank you Brian. I appreciate the comment. I will have to look up Michael Jacks. Thanks for watching and stop by again soon.
@@HemingwayJones sorry … that should be “Jecks” with an “e”.
@@brianlooksaround6125 Thank you for the clarification!
Well dangit, I’ve been thinking hard about this pen. Before this video was over I had ordered one. I mean there really wasn’t a choice. There was this overwhelming need. ❤
Wonderful! Good luck with it! Don’t miss this one too! Best Pen Ever? Conway Stewart Churchill Fountain Pen Revealed!

@@HemingwayJones oh I had already seen that one, which was a fantastic video by the way. Churchill has always been a hero of mine. But it was the second video with your later impressions that really convinced me to buy it. Hearing how much you still liked it after the “new” wore off was a powerful endorsement.
And these videos convinced me that it was time to become a member too. I’m looking forward to the live sessions. Which by the way, I haven’t figured out how to know when they are going to take place. Can you tell me how to know that so I can plan to watch?
@@peglegpiraterooster I saw that! Thank you and warmest of welcomes! Send me an email if you would like to be in the Pen Pal Group! The Live Show is Tues at 8pm ET Boston Time! Thank you so much and warmest of welcomes! Reach out with whatever you need!
It really is fantastically designed..its one of those pens I would love to own someday. I am now curious on owning at least one pen for each type of filling system..just to experience the different feels. So far my favorite is pistons...but I do want to try a lever fill..and vacuum fill.
That sounds like a video idea! Thanks!
Oh no problem...haha
I have a vintage vac (Parker Vacumatic) and a vintage lever filler (Conway Stewart 475). They're both a pain in the neck to flush, and the ink sac in the Parker has come unsealed, meaning it only sucks air when I try to fill it, and I have reservations about sending it off to be repaired. I'm seriously considering a CS Churchill - if I can decide what nib to go with on a pen I'll only ever own one of - but as much as I love the aesthetic (and probably a more robust lever assembly compared to its 80 year-old cousin) of the Churchill lever filler, I think I'm opting for the 'captive' (basically a piston) filler version.
Beautiful! Does the section unscrew when the sac needs to be replaced? Is it shellac? I've been curious if they made any changes in that regard with the modern version. Is that something they document?
That is a very good question. I’ll gently check. It would be great if it did.
@@HemingwayJones Have you learnt anything about sac replacement?
@@LauraKnotek Nope. I send them out when that happens. I am not a DIY person with fountain pens.
Nice camera angle! I can see the ink dry!
Thank you! It’s interesting when you get the camera in there. All the best.
Hello Hemingway,
I have recently purchased a Montblanc Egyptomania Fountain Pen in black precious resin. Which notebook or writing pad would you recommend to complement the style of the pen (which I personally adore with the contrast between the illustrious nib and deep black body)?
Many thanks,
Max
Congratulations on an amazing pen! Very well done. That pen is so unique. I really like Odyssey Notebooks. They use Tomoe River paper and have hard covers with nice designs. All the best and congratulations.
@@HemingwayJones Thank you very much! I will check those out, they sound terrific! Thank you for your input and content on this platform.
that is a nice looking pen for sure.
Thanks Shane! I hope that all is well.
@@HemingwayJones no complaints brother! See you next time you're live!
@@shane6242 Tuesday night! 8pm EST!
Very good video frank in Oswego
Thank you Frank!
I said it before, and I'll say it again ... love that Honey Noir material! BTW ... when I purchased my Churchill, they were going by the name "Bespoke British Pens" and not Churchill, as they are known today. Cheers!
Thanks so much, Dave!
Dave, Churchill is the model name. Bespoke British Pens now trade as Conway Stewart.
Lever fill is OK if you only stick to one ink but is my least favourite filling system as you get relatively little ink, no matter how well done it feels more fragile, I just think it should have died out years ago, much better to have either CC or piston.
I must admit I do think the new ones are a bit too expensive for what you get but I do love my vintage example in celluloid but being lever fill I just use it with one ink. I do think as well they use the Churchill connection a bit too much, a bit on the nose.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it. I can say that I have switched ink radically with this one and have been fine, but I know what you mean. Wish you all the best and please chime in again soon.
Beautiful pens. I looked at the C.S. website, built up a pen, but the shipping charge knocked me over. To ship a pen to WA from C.S., the price came up to $75 for DHL. Royal mail, which isn't the best and definitely the slowest, was still over $30. The prospect of adding nearly $100 to the price of an expensive pen just puts it at a 'no' for me. I'll keep an eye out on sale boards or so before I get one.
$75 is a lot for shipping. I can completely agree with your thought process. I do have a 10% off code someplace in this description or definitely the 1st video I did. I would definitely go for the cheaper option though on shipping. All the best and stop by again soon.
@@HemingwayJones I found your discount code but it didn't help with the shipping. It just seems that taking the slow delivery (Royal mail was 2 weeks last time I used them) plus an 'up to' 28 day pen build time would require a LOT of patience.
Truly! I am old enough to remember when that was the only option. I’m surprised it’s so much. Shipping for my clothier by DHL is $42.
I wrote them to verify the shipping amount. Hope it’s just a glitch on their website.
@@periopnurse Let me know. Sounds like a lot. Thanks!
I want one but I think I will pass on the lever fill. Their nibs are exquisite.
Their nibs are. They come with different fill systems as well. Stop by again soon.
@@HemingwayJones I opted for lever fill because I don't own any of that design yet. I have all the other filling mechanisms.
This is the first time I got the feeling to watch a sponsored video in this channel.
Why so many videos about one pen?
I really hope I’m wrong.
I think he just loves this pen. Nothing wrong with that.
@@jamesaritchie1
Maybe you’re the one who miss something: HJ said clearly he didn’t purchase that pen.
By the way nothing wrong about sponsored videos if the viewers are informed about that.
Also HJ said many times he doesn’t want to sell anything but only share his passion, so as a subscriber I just tried to express my opinion.
I hope you don’t mind.
Hi Sergio, You can ask any question at any time about anything to me no matter how difficult or awkward. You are welcome, My Friend. I am completely transparent.
No, this one is not sponsored. I just love this pen. In fact the commentary was taken from my LIVE from back in December. I occasionally do LIVE pen reviews and I chose this one for the first.
I did the first video on this one as Sponsored and clearly labeled it as such, but that one shouldn’t have been due to a misunderstanding. I thought they were giving me the pen in exchange for that video. Once that video was done, my responsibility to them was done. However, it turns out that they want me to buy that pen, so it’s not even sponsored. Oh well. No way to change that designation now and it probably hurt my views.
I will say that I don’t see how this video differs from any other review I have ever done. There are many pens that I speak about all the time on this channel. This channel is an on-going conversation about my experience with pens. How many have I done on the 149? I literally did an homage video to it with fanfare music! How many videos have I done on the 146, the TWISBI Eco, the Lamy Safari, the Kaweco Brass Sport?
If something is sponsored, you will know. I will make it abundantly clear.
All the best
@@jamesaritchie1 I didn’t realize you had a channel. Cool.
@@wolf_ceit_witch I do! And many others that I speak about all the time. If any of my videos looked like commercials, it was the one on the 149 a few months back!
Dude! get a better paper!!!
All of my paper is awesome. You should amend your syntax.
