The Jean-Pierre Lepine "Winston" is a large fountain pen inspired by Winston Churchill and the cigars he constantly smoked. The pen is actually comparable in size to those cigars. The Lepine Winston fountain pen is crafted from a highly polished Black Cellulose Acetate with shiny Gold-plated Brass trim. The threaded cap screws closed and can also be posted securely. The Lepine Winston has a Gold-plated two-tone stainless steel nib available in either a Fine, Medium or Broad size. These nibs write smoothly and have a nice amount of spring. If you like your pens to run large, then you’ll really enjoy using a Winston for some great calligraphy
