There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Also, Ticonderogas over time have changed their packaging graphics and they will no longer specify wood type on the box, anymore. They now use a generic phrase "Premium Wood / Bois de la meilleure / Madera de primera calidad" which gives absolutely no indication if the wood is cedar or not.
Of late, they have a stamp signifying "100% American CEDAR WOOD sustainable forests" and this designation will grace all boxes of pencils that are created out of incense-cedar (presumably!).
It seems that this stamp has started to show on their products manufactured starting 2016. You will see it on their colored erasable/checking pencils, Tri-Conderogas, and their standard issue Ticonderogas in the 12-pack cardboard box, 24-pack hang tab clear plastic boxes, 48-pack hang tab green cardboard boxes, and the 96-pack cello wrapped variety which is in actuality 8 of the 12-pack boxes packaged as a single 96 count unit.
They probably will start to use this designation on other products as well to make it easier to distinguish which of their products are incense-cedar wood and which are not.
UPDATE: They also have a new stamp in the form of a gold colored banner: "Celebrating over 100 years of excellence". AVOID those like the plague! You are buying the low-end Ticonderoga. The irony...that they would label their low-end garbage as "excellence".
Ticonderogas come in a higher grade and lower grade now. Look for the green-white CEDAR WOOD stamp if you want the high grade Ticonderoga.
The problem is that there are huge stocks of pre-2016 packaging and it is hard to tell what's inside unless you actually peek into the box and handle the pencil in person. Even then, some variety of Ticonderogas will have sloppy paint jobs that have paint dripped over the ends and make it difficult to see the wood grain or take a whiff which is an important hint as to what you are dealing with (cedar vs basswood). Of course this is not possible when buying on Amazon.
I've bought 96-pack Ticonderogas at the large wholesale membership stores before (Costco) that are of the Mexican origin, in the same cello wrapped individually boxed units per dozen, HOWEVER, they are "not marked for individual sale", meaning the bar codes and product code (i.e. 13882) are not imprinted on the individual boxes.
The 96-pack bought today (2/6/2016) here on Amazon are also of the Mexican variety, in the same cello wrapped individual boxed units per dozen, AND they are each marked for individual sale, replete with barcodes and product codes. This is an interesting distinction because there is a huge quality difference between the two, and this is the crux of this review:
- The Costco variety have a strong paint smell where the Amazon variety is nicely aromatic cedar.
- The Costco variety is NOT imprinted as 100% AMERICAN cedar wood, the Amazon variety has the imprint.
- The Costco variety is obviously not cedar wood, wood is a pasty white without visible woodgrain patterns
- The Costco variety had very poor paint jobs and the classic green foil lettering and logos are noticeably poorer quality
- There were more curved pencil "bananas" and off-centered leads in the Costco variety
- The Amazon variety had largely well centered leads with mostly straight barrels, and the ferrule yellow paint stripes were clean
This all means that if you are lucky and score a box of the cedar wood variety, you will have a great writing experience.
The Mexican Ticonderogas were generally thought to be superior to the Chinese versions, because the Ticonderogas made in China largely used basswood/non-cedar wood, had a smallish eraser head, and the leads were poorly centered, and the ferrules were poorly painted as well. A lot of technical problems seems to plaque the Chinese version, like leads falling out (poorly bonded lead), or broken leads, or not sharpening well to a point (poor quality wood to blame). However, my Costco experience illustrates that both factories, whether it be China or Mexico, produce higher grade Ticonderogas and clearly lower grade ones as well.
Interestingly, the latest batch of pencils that are hitting the shelves in big office retailers like Office Depot or Staples are of FANTASTIC quality and they are made in China versions, with well centered lead cores, incense-cedar wood barrels, sharply imprinted foil lettering, and ferrules that are printed very evenly with a bright yellow band, and erasers that are starting to grow to a size that almost rivals the Mexican counterparts. They are slightly darker in color and a very smooth, satin finish.
I hope that Dixon is starting to listen to the myriad of complaints about the inconsistencies of their Ticonderoga product line, and the latest developments in this venerable brand is surely encouraging that all is not falling on deaf ears. In fact, the latest batch that are made in China would indicate that they have made a major commitment to restoring the brand to its former glory!

The smooth, fine graphite glides effortlessly, providing a consistently even and precise line with every stroke. The lead is incredibly durable, reducing the need for frequent sharpening and allowing me to write for extended periods without interruption.
The wood casing feels comfortable in my hand, and the classic yellow design brings back nostalgic memories of my school days. It's a joy to hold and use these pencils for both writing and sketching.
Moreover, the eraser is excellent – it doesn't smudge or leave behind unsightly marks, ensuring a clean and professional finish to my work.
Overall, the Ticonderoga Wood-Cased Pencils are simply outstanding. Their unmatched performance, combined with the classic and reliable design, make them an essential tool for anyone in need of a high-quality writing instrument. These pencils have earned my highest recommendation without a doubt!

La matita gialla americana, vista e rivista in film e serie televisive.
Ne conservavo un buon ricordo perchè da piccolo a volte le ricevevo in regalo e scrivevano meglio di quelle nostrane, si temperavano più facilmente e la punta non si spezzava nel temperamatite. Oggi o sono passati gli anni e i miei ricordi si sono sbiaditi, o la qualità non è più quella di allora nel senso che gli altri hanno fatto progressi, scrivono discretamente ma le Staedtler (quelle classiche gialle e nere, che uso nella variante con la gomma in fondo) vanno meglio, più di una volta la mina si è spezzata nel temperino. Può essere che su una scatola da 96 abbia incocciato in quelle riuscite meno bene, vedremo con il tempo. Per ora mi limito a dare quattro stelle, di cui una sulla fiducia.
