Palomino Blackwing pencil...

I am having a much needed studio day (well half day) and what better way to start it than with the delivery of some new pencils. I've been reading about how great Palimino Blackwings are for a while and now they are back in production had to give them a try. Love the aesthetics - the rubber is looks really neat - I shall give them a proper test later. They do appear to be pretty black in comparison to a standard pencil...
