 | Author: D. B. James (USA) | You wouldn't think something as humble as a pencil could create enthusiasm in a buyer, but these Mirado Black Warrior pencils did in me. These are so good, I ordered several additional boxes for myself and one for a gift. They are comfortable in the hand, the erasers work well but gently on delicate papers and newsprint, and the "lead" is perfectly smooth for effortless and even writing. My first reaction after using one of these was along the lines of "Gee! I didn't know what crumby pencils I'd been using before!" I use pencils every day for note-taking, puzzle-working, and general scribbling. I literally threw out all the other pencils in the house and replaced them with these. | 3 |
