[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids(ages 16,12, and 10) all preferred mechanical pencils. Why? They said that the regular wood pencils they were used too would break or the the lead would fall out after sharpening. Well I was tired of having to buy the lead for the mechanical pencils so I decided to try these. Great right out of the box! Love that they all come pre-sharpened. Makes things so much easier. My kids and and all took a pencil. I used it all day at work, and they used it all day at school. All of us had no issues sharpening or writing with them. Truly very well made pencils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ticonderoga pencils are the best pencils. They are sturdy, long lasting, harder to break than most and don't mess up pencil sharpeners!! I can see why teachers ask for ticonderoga over any other brands!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are great to send to school with your child/children I really like the fact that they come pre sharpened so no searching for a pencil sharpener just to use the pencils. I like that there’s always a sharpened pencil close by

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that they come pre-sharpened, ready to go right out of the box. When you do need to sharpen them, they are east to sharpen and the tip does not break. They write smooth and consistent in color. The eraser erasers cleanly with no smudging. Will purchase this pencil again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I revived these in the mail and my boys immediately put them to use doing home work they’re pre sharpened and are very sturdy the tip doesn’t break easily I definitely recommend them and I just love the smell of wood pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pencils are great and I love the fact that they come sharpened. They feel like a better quality compared to other brands that I have used. They are easy to sharpen and you don't have to struggle to get a good point without breaking off the lead.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are worth every penny that you pay for them! They are so easy to sharpen and you don't experience the "shortening" of the pencil as you sharpen it, as you do with so many others. One sharpen and the pencil is gone, but not with these! You don't have to press hard, they naturally write "dark" without pressing hard. The erasers that are on the tops are one of the best, and don't leave streaks or a residue after using. I've used these with my kids since they started writing with the big fat starter pencils and they still prefer these, as they have gotten older, over mechanicals. Highly recommend and will continue purchasing for all of our writing needs!

[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!

Love this product!!!!

Was buying school supplies for my three elementary aged children and thought it would be better to buy in a large quantity but it turned out my local Wal-Mart was selling the smaller quantity at a better value:(
