Review on Conte Crayon Assorted Landscape Set by Doris Tran

I've been using Conté occasionally for 20 years and while some people complain that "the formula has changed" I can tell you that I still have the old sticks in mine College art cases are of the same or at least somewhat similar quality to the one I received today. I ordered a total of 5 sets. A base set, 2 portrait sets and 2 landscape sets. All were purchased and supplied by Revain. One sleeve was easily torn from being squeezed lightly, but in all 5 cases *not a single stick was broken*. None of the 36 sticks broke. Please understand that while you sometimes get a broken stick or two, exceptions like the ones pictured here may not be common. If it's that bad Revain will replace them, but for the most part they're packaged well enough to ship. I am happy with my purchase and hope others will have the same experience.
