These Tawi Tawi chips are quite powerful,
with a profile unique to this region…..
at least from what I’ve tried.

A kyara chip from Yahoo Auctions
The origin is completely unknown, and it was a gamble buying it ($200 USD for 4g, came in a small plastic bag). I wouldn't classify this as kyara, but the squares were nice and dark, smelling of rich sweet vanilla and resin on the subitism, I'm thinking it could be high grade agarwood from Vietnam
Question for the more knowledgeable: what happens to the really oily and resinous kynam chips and squares when out or even stored for a long time? Does it dry and lose oil and room temperature aroma, but retain its potency when heated?

200 for 4 grams? It's not cultivated Kinam, is it?
Definitely not cultivated, I have never seen cultivated look or smell anything like this. But it might not have been kynam, and there are no brand or origin details included, which makes people skeptical. The rich, resinous smell is undeniable though, I am happy with the gamble I made

I love it when I lift the mica sheet after heating and all the slivers are stuck by their own resin.

Hiya - am I correct in thinking that Green Silani is based in Sri Lanka and more importantly - have you tried any of his oils?
Yes, and yes 👍

Imperial Oud Walla Patta
Fully resinated, with less of the vaporous top notes usually associated with this region, and more of an ambery vibe.
Good stuff….they were sold by the piece, you had to specify the pieces you wanted from the pictures shown, the weight of each piece was indicated. I wish I bought the whole lot🤪

Heating Shoyeido Square Cut
There’s always variance from piece to piece, today it opens similar to Walla Patta,
and Philippine, but of all the Shoyeido I’ve tried (square cut, chips, granules, and kozutsu), I never smelled any Vietnamese agarwood, they must be hoarding it😀

Kangiiten shin kyara “black” right now. Maybe two rice grain’s worth on a subitism type burner. It has been filling the air of a large studio strongly enough that I can also smell it in the adjacent bathroom. As usual for this kind of material just keeps kicking out the scent as long as it’s kept at low temperature.
The specimen is basically in the form of large granules or small nuggets depending on your point of view.
nice smooth sweet slightly spicy burn that holds up well over time. Scent evolves to some degree towards the sweet clean Vietnamese / kinam scent I associate with quality shoyeido incense sticks.
I know there’s all kinds of kyara but I am very happy to have a few grams of this, regardless of how much better the best can be. My only sample of the “best” is a nugget of green kinam from a baieido rikoku set I got a long time ago. I need to refer back to that some day as it has been a long time.

Or selling it as Kinam :s

Hainan Char
Although I got all my pieces from the same source, some have much more resin than others. It’s lovely to see a char piece which has deep resination, I only have a small piece of that type. Some pieces have only shallow resination. I am just happy that the aroma is nice, especially the more flowery type. The first Hainan Char I tried was a sample from a different source and the aroma was weak, it’s a good thing I didn’t give up on Hainan at that time.
