1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality since production moved to Mexico, May 25, 2010

Since Dixon moved production of their pencils to Mexico the quality has suffered. I went through a box in 2 days because the lead kept breaking and falling out of the pencil. When you try to sharpen it, the lead breaks inside of the wood pencil body and falls out. DO NOT BUY!!! Ticondaroga's used to be my favorite, now Papermate Mirado Black Warrior's are.

Since Ticonderoga pencils have been around for decades, you come to expect great quality. Although no longer made here for some reason, they have managed to maintain their superior quality. We use these exclusively in our schools and there's never a worry about the durability of them during test time. I do suggest, however, that you get the ones with the Microban to help ward of germs. LOVE those! Highly recommend!

I've never been able to find presharpened pencils for my kids for the start of the school year. It sure beats sharpening 60 pencils!
