I had to try each piece of yesterday’s haul.
The 4 packs (5 grams each) of Shoyeido Matsu Chunks contained 5 profiles.

From left to right,
2 pieces of solidly resinated pieces, fast sinking, smelled of medicine, wood, and roasted frankincense. I thought the whole lot would be like these that I tried yesterday, luckily, they are the only two😃
4 pieces that share a scent similar to my older batches, Borneo-Brunei likeness👍
3 pieces similar to the older batches, but leans toward an ethereal Indonesian vibe. I like this 70% only😏
1 piece Papua-like, weak, nothing happening here👎
2 pieces Walla Patta! No doubt! 👏👏👏
So…….I am actually happy with this purchase, and it makes me wonder what future packs may be like, what mix of regions will they contain.
I also got more packs of Nippon Kodo Sizuro Vietnamese, and I’m happy to report that the quality is still very good.
Some pieces have a little cooling effect and finishes a little spicy, although my favorite pieces are those that remind me of sweet Cambodian agarwood.

This piece was not stored in a container, over a year already and the chip still looks saturated with oils and resin, no dried wood look.
Just a few tiny slivers needed to enjoy the aroma.
Then some Borneo with a Tarakan vibe.

just a chunk of Sabah via Kazakhstan (or was it Uzbekistan?) regardless an awesome deal I got for 100g of this decent daily burner.

It is a must to heat this gradually from low to medium high, because it smells good during the entire ride.
I like woods that can do this.

Also heating some Hong Kong that came in the mail today, from Jing
There was a mixup though and the package sat in the FedEx facility in Oakland for the three day weekend and there was a huge Bay Area heat wave. I'm not sure if the package getting hot affects the condition of the wood at all but none of the items in this order were fragrant at room temperature, unlike most woods I've purchased in the past, especially from Jing. Anyone else have experience with this?

I'm livin it, that heat wave, 109* San Jose today! Honestly I've had mixed luck with Jing's woods. I am though happy today to receive a little bit of Nagaland muri from Craftoud, via @Oudologie Very sweet spicy aroma, a very enjoyable scent as it warms slowly.
The weather has been killer, but us real ones still heat wood on the hottest days😎
I started feeling the same about Jing's woods. I've been a bit unimpressed with a couple of pieces esp for the premium we pay for it, but most of the time I am satisfied.

don't know honestly if heat would strip it from its fragrance at room temperature.
i remember i payed for my HK piece around aug/sept and i got it late november, still fragrant.
from all pieces i got from jing only hainan she sent wasn't fragrant at room temperature, tarakan,brunei and hoi an all fragrant at room temp.
try to return them? its sad going 100$+ gram pieces and it get dethroned by way cheaper ones =/

Floral and oudy with an old chip vibe.

It's true, I agree. Did you end up returning the Hainan, or was the quality aside from room temp smell satisfactory? I didn't even think of returning as an option LOL

nope why would i? it was free sample besides that on heater and charcoal it smell way better than rest who is aromatic at room temperature.
in general i hate bead scraps wood, 99% of what i encountered were low oil content.

Distinctly different from Vietnamese and surrounding regions, and quite refreshing to enjoy when that sharpness hits you.
