Paper Mate (2254) Mirado Black Warrior Lead Pencils, (Medium) Soft (12 Count) (3 Pack of 12)

Awesome pencils. Black Warriors, what's but to love? Great feel in the fingers, I thought being round would give it less grip than octagonal pencils, but it doesn't. The head give a nice, dark line on the paper.

Ever had a pencil that wrote so lightly you couldn't see what you wrote? Did that pencil have an eraser that did nothing but smear your paper? I did. I wanted better pencils but was afraid to buy any at the store because I didn't know what I was going to get. I turned to Amazon to get reviews of pencils so I could make a good decision. I knew I wanted my pencil to write a darker, thicker line and I wanted the eraser to work. These are great pencils. They are just dark enough while writing and the erasers actually work. I will repurchase when necessary.

This is the only pencil I use. And I’m a serious pencil user. Smooth to hold, smooth dark lead. Brilliant quality.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Mirado pencils are the preferred pencils at my son's school for a reason.. Smooth, dark and of durable quality so our aging educators can read content easily. It may be be preference, but if it helps these educators do their work, then it's worth it!

I am obsessed with these pencils. Our office manager got all of us into them. It is almost like writing with, well, it’s hard to describe. They pencil writes smoothly. Stays sharp for a long time. The lead is dark. It’s the poshest of pencils.

I read several articles about these black warriors. They aren't quite as good as I had thought but still the best pencil I have ever used. They write smooth and have soft lead. Works well for drawing and daily use if you have access to a sharpener.

Perfect black, soft enough for great shading,and still sharp enough for any detail.

I love these pencils. I'd forgotten how much. I was in the garage. I needed to measure some boards. I had one of these Black Warrior pencils in a drawer. I began to draw a straight line. I loved the pencil so much (I'm a teacher; I used them for years in school), I went inside and started writing a draft of an essay with it on a yellow tablet. I have three boxes. They won't last long. The pencils arrived faster than I'd been told they would. I shall order again from Best Source Office Supply. No fooling, I will.Marc Petersen
