Ticonderoga No. 2 pencils with soft graphite and pastel-painted wood barrels, sold unsharpened in an 18-pack. The brand's soft No. 2 lead is known for dark, smooth lines and fewer broken points than bargain pencils, and the pastel barrels make them easy to tell apart from standard yellow stock. They suit students, test takers and anyone who writes by hand daily. Compared with generic store-brand pencils, they sharpen more cleanly and hold a point longer, though the pastel finish and unsharpened tips are the main things buyers notice first.

Owners of Ticonderoga's soft No. 2 pencils consistently praise the smooth, dark graphite and clean sharpening, and many say they break less often than cheaper brands. The pastel barrels draw compliments, though some note the paint can chip and the soft lead needs frequent sharpening.
