Ticonderoga Original Ticonderoga Pencils, No. 2 Soft, Unsharpened, Box of 72

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are not the same Ticonderoga pencils I used when I was a kid. They used to be a high-quality pencil. I hadn't used the brand in years and I was looking forward to using them again. They do not sharpen well, the lead breaks and the wood is rough--like feels like you might get a splinter rough. My daughter writes A LOT so I asked her opinion as well and the verdict was the same. I wish the quality was the same as it used to be!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try these pencils. These are always in my kids list for their necessary school supplies and I always wondered why. Now I know after buying them and using them with my children. They write so smoothly and such a dark color lead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils write so smooth and are very sturdy. My kids use them all the time for homework and they seem to withstand the 8yr old not breaking them when he uses them. Will buy again and recommend them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my pencils a couple of weeks ago and I've been using them as well as my children. They already came sharpened in our easy to use very sturdy. Classic but not so classic perfect for school work or even drawing I would recommend this to family friends and anyone else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pencils are pre-sharpened, they look like a standard pencil. They write nicely, and it gives off a nice black color. They are fairly comfortable to hold in hand, and seem to last a long time after many times of being sharpened. The only downside is the strange smell they had, it was a really weird smell.
