Darkest Master Level Drawing Pencil

It is inevitable for an artist that after decades of drawing and sketching, his lines will become more confident and therefore brighter. I was looking for a darker pencil, my old favorites 6B Kimberly and Prisma Ebony weren't dark enough to be seen. I needed something that could be applied in even, rich strokes with little effort. I tried different 8B pencils but I still had to press hard which slowed down the drawing process. It's exactly what I've been looking for and so far has proven invaluable. Came in a polythene postal bag which is a sloppy way of sending expensive pencils because the lead breaks inside. Luckily they survived.

These pencils make very good, dark markings which I need for my poor eyesight.
