2-Pack – General Pencil 321742 557BP – 4 Charcoal Pencil Kit with Eraser

I love generals charcoal, they are great, definitely the best brand of charcoal pencils. Unfortunately, they were rendered basically useless by the way The item was shipped. It was just loose in a plastic envelope. If the pencils are dropped even once, the charcoal inside the wood breaks and every time you try to sharpen it it breaks, so I knew these stood no chance when I opened the envelope, yet I was hopeful. I had bought them to use on a project for my classroom, but they just break every time they are sharpened.
