    The new Ticonderoga pencils that are made from recycled tires spin pretty good for me. I need to weigh them to compare with weight of wood pencils. I like the texture and hardness of them though...

    Warning... don't try to sharpen these, they may ruin your electric sharpener or other sharpener... I think they are best left as is as a collectors item, and great for spinning. I don't see how they are going to make it against the wood ones for writing.
