Blackwing pencils were originally introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company in the 1930s. Their cult following included John Steinbeck, Vladimir Nabokov, Truman Capote, Chuck Jones who proudly used the Blackwing 602 to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters. He declared that a pen is full of ink, but the Blackwing is full of ideas. In 2010, Palomino released a reissue of the legendary pencils that disappeared in 1990.
