Editions include Patron of Art, Writers Edition, Special Theme Edition, Annual Edition, Donation series and America's Signatures for Freedom.

Some Montblanc special editions have been particularly controversial: after seeing a supplier's invoice, [http://www.diamondintelligence.com/magazine/magazine.asp?id=4397 Diamond Intelligence] revealed that heat-treated black diamonds had been used rather than much more valuable natural white diamonds for $200,000 diamond covered Mont Blanc 149 pens. This altered the value of the diamonds in pen by a factor of ten. The journal claimed that Mont Blanc had used "deceptive and unfair trade practices" in its advertising and had breached US law concerning gemstones when it failed to inform costumers of the nature of the diamonds used. Mont Blanc disputed Diamond Intelligence's legal interpretation, but changed their marketing to reveal the nature of the stones used.

Ban on Internet Sales

Authorised dealers are no longer allowed to sell from web sites and have to use telephone or postal ordering. The company claims that this is because it is aware of many fake pens being sold via web sites.Fact|date=October 2008
