Apparently the "H" and "B" that you see on pencils mean "hard" and "black". The first one I figured but the second one I didn't know. Also there seems to be an "F" as well. It stands for "fine" and pretty much means that it's very fine lead that is still pretty durable (it's somewhere between "H" and "HB").
