They are fun to handle and paint with, and they are beautiful after lay down.

I had originally purchased the set of 24 but decided to upgrade to 72. These are wonderfully creamy pencils and I recommend them highly to serious amateur or professional artists.

The colors are amazing! The material that they are made of is unusually wonderful. It would be nice to have all of the pencils available in open stock all at once here in the US now.

I’m over the moon about these pencils. I have had 24 set for three years now and was delighted to acquire this new set. But 2 things disappointed me. My package arrived in an Amazon pkg with just the thin brown paper to wrap the tin. The tin had a slight bend causing one pencil to break off the tip below the wood. When I sharpened it another chunk fell out. I lost about one inch of product. The other issue I have provided a photo. This was a quality control issue

Won't buy from Cult Pens again the pencils I hope will be fine the packaging was not at all adequate sent in just the thin card outer sleeve no bubble wrap nor packaging of any kind as such the tin was clearly dropped multiple times during delivery with large dents to the tin so I wouldn't buy from cult pens again because if it had been packaged correctly I wouldn't now have a dented tin and broken plastic trays. As for Derwent their own packaging seems to be getting less and less inside the tins it really is a disappointment to find flimsy trays of plastic meant to hold pencils they used to put in buffers to protect the leads no more it really is a cheap look, I would of have spent more to have decent trays to hold the pencils. For me Derwent is just cutting corners and I say that as I have many pencil sets they have created. Derwent instead of paying influencers to market your product create better packaging for long time use like you used to.

Reply from Cult Pens
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your order and your feedback. We constantly review packaging options taking into account costs, time, environmental issues, postal weights and the protection of the goods. Modern good quality pencils a have polymer leads that are bonded to the wood, so they can withstand quite rough treatment and we rarely hear of any ongoing issues with internal lead breaks - we send out hundreds of parcels, globally, every day. Adding extra packaging to every parcel that contains pencils would significantly add to our costs and ultimately to our product and delivery prices.
Unfortunately, the tips of pre-sharpened pencils are no longer protected by the casing, so minor damages can occasionally occur in transit and should only require a quick sharpening. However, if you do discover differently, please let us know.
While we can not comment on Derwent's packaging designs, we do send feedback to all our suppliers.
You are welcome to return the pencil set if it is not suitable or no longer required.
Kind regards,
Cult Pens
