Someone gave me an expensive pencil and I did not use it for five months.

Classic. It sat in the tin being the good pencil, and every time I reached for something I took the cheap one, because the cheap one is allowed to make a bad drawing and the good one was not.

Used it in January on a page I had already ruined. It is a very nice pencil. It is not a better pencil than the cheap one in any way I can detect.
