Review: wow smoother than any other coloured pencil out there - i thought getting these was all a bit overkill since i have lots of pencils prisma, caran dache lumins polychromos. black widows BUT none of them are as smooth as these, not even close. i was not expecting any wow factor but they are lovely to use & i even like the 3 metallics . i like doing realism but havent got round to that yet but i did a colouring page & they are so nice to use, they feel different & ooze colour & quality. thats all i have to say, still doesnt justify the high price but whats really nice about them as well is that you dont have to dread sharpening because the core doesnt crumble like prisma (though i love prisma) so these are good for detail as well. would make an excellent gift for anyone into art or colouring because these dont get as much clout as all the others when really they ought to because theyre great
Review: Love these pencils - These pencils are excellent, they are now my favourite pencils to use. They layer really well and blend nicely and great colour range. I've had zero pencil lead breakages, unlike another well known brand. They are very expensive but will last a very long time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these pencils oil based**
A: The core of coloured pencils are a blend of wax and oil, pigments and other agents which help stability and lay down. What determines if the pencil is a so called oil pencil (as opposed to a traditional wax pencil) is the proportion of oils in the wax mixture.

**Q: Don’t want to seem silly but is there any difference between the red tin and silver tin? As I’ve seen both online whilst searching for them.**
A: The silver and red are exactly the same products. The silver box was discontinued at the end of 2019 so any silvers you buy are pretty old.

**Q: thinking of buying is this set worth it**
A: I love these so much I bought the 40 tin (having previously bought the 20).  My nephews now colour with the 20s and love them and I use the 40s.  They are superb with a great range of colours.  If I could afford 120, I would buy those too!

**Q: do they have a cedar wood aroma to them?**
A: No. Caran D'ache Luminance pencils do, but Pablo don't.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these pencils
*by E***A on 7 August 2023*

These pencils are excellent, they are now my favourite pencils to use. They layer really well and blend nicely and great colour range. I've had zero pencil lead breakages, unlike another well known brand. They are very expensive but will last a very long time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finest Quality Pencils Available
*by M***. on 18 May 2015*

These are by far the most superior coloured pencils available, they keep a sharp point but are soft enough to blends beautifully. The pigment is incredibly intense and the finest i have ever used. I've been a coloured Pencil artist for 5 years and these have taken my work to the next level. They are very expensive but i believe worth every single penny and for any CP artist one of the best investments you will ever make.
