Review: "I came for a pen. I accidentally found a favorite." - me - I've used a lot of pens over the years, but somehow I only recently discovered the BIC Cristal Xtra Bold. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. These pens write with a rich, dark line that glides across the page with almost no effort. The 1.6mm point produces a bold, confident stroke that makes ordinary handwriting look better and turns even the most mundane note-taking into something enjoyable. The ink flow is smooth, consistent, and reliable from the first word to the last. What surprised me most is how satisfying these pens are to use. In an age of expensive fountain pens, gel pens, and every other writing instrument imaginable, this humble BIC manages to deliver a writing experience that simply feels right. There is something wonderfully honest about it. No gimmicks. No learning curve. Just a dependable pen that writes beautifully every single time. I originally bought one box to try them. Then I bought two more boxes because I realized I never wanted to be without them. That's probably the highest recommendation I can give any pen. If you enjoy journaling, writing letters, making lists, taking notes, or simply appreciate a good writing instrument, do yourself a favor and try these. They have earned a permanent place on my desk, in my notebook bag, and in my home. Sometimes the simplest tools are the ones that bring the most pleasure. For me, the BIC Cristal Xtra Bold is one of those rare discoveries.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many of each color**
A: 3 of each color

**Q: I am left handed. My hand tends to smudge the paper. Is this set a quick dry? If not, could you point me to another set with assorted colors that is?**
A: It won't smear. I'm left handed as well and love the boldness. It's not instand dry but close. The 1.6mm bold puts a lot more ink on the paper, so it does not last anywhere near as long as the original Cristal. I write a fair amount and I get about 10 days only out of one pen. If you like it, I'd say stock up. I would consider this on par with the papermate 700rt.

**Q: How do you turn off the secret ink bomb feature? it's spooging ink everywhere.**
A: This has happened to me a couple of times and I toss the pen.  As inconvenient as it can be, I still love the distinction of the ink....it’s so clearly evident.
I do, however, suggest informing Bic of the problem of ink oozing.

**Q: Is there an orange colored pen?**
A: There is no orange.  Purple, turquoise, light blue, black, dark blue, pink, lime green and red.
