The Only Pencil Worth Owning

I've had it with cheap pencils: the tips break too easily, they do not write smoothly, they feel rough against your skin, and their erasers leave big black smudges all over the paper.
Back to a Ticonderoga Number 2 for me. They glide across the paper leaving a clear, dark gray line. The heft is perfect, and feel nice next to your fingers. They erase clearly with no smudges or tears.

Give me my Ticonderoga with a yellow legal pad, and I'm all set. For anything.

    I wish I was from corporate Ticonderoga and could give you a lifetime supply. I have to agree, Do they make pencil crayons? In fact this post inspires me to go through my junk drawer, pencil vase and church bag and chuck all the cheap novelty pencils.

    I don't know if I've ever used that brand. I believe that a good electric pencil sharpener can benefit any pencil! Marilyn

    You are a woman of simple tastes. Husbands all over the world point to you and say, "A new house? Diane's happy with a #2 pencil."

    I always thought a pencil was a pencil til your children set me straight and I saw the light...the Ticonderoga light! All pencils are not created equal...only Ticonderoga in my house!!!!

    As a ticondera fan myself, I COMPLETELY agree! And, Travelin' Oma has an excellent point. Every woman should be so easily pleased.
