General B Primo Bianco Charcoal Pencil Box/12

General charcoal pencils are great. I also find that I use a lot of white when I am working with pastel pencils, and the white charcoal can be used in conjunction with the pastels. The white charcoal pencils even seem to provide a brighter white than the regular white pastel pencils that I have, so they are especially useful when adding white highlights like in eyes.

I decided to spend a little more for these, thinking that "primo" was a higher quality than the regular ones that general makes. What I received worked fine, but they seemed no different than the regular generals, and they looked nothing like the photo used to advertise the product on Amazon's listing. Still, they were adequate for what i needed to do.

These were exactly what I had before in the set..I searched for a while and found these.. This is the best deal for these pencils that I have found..I will be reordering when I am close to being out again..

Primo Charcoal is so great, I purchased an entire box after using it in class. It goes on smooth and dark and sharpens to a clean point.

I love that they have this soft almost leather stuff on the outside. They do their job, nothing to complain about.

We purchased these to go with some small chalkboard tablets we make. These look really nice and work great for practicing letter writing (Kids) or doodling and seem to wipe off fine with a wet cloth.

several of the tips were broken when I received it and it was poorly packaged. I would not use them again.

Weren’t these supposed to be white like all of the advertised pictures? I don’t even use regular charcoal. Super disappointed. Asking for refund.
