Today from my Esprit de la Nature order ~ SÉRÉNITÉ is my swoon of the day.

Her incense is mostly wild crafted & home grown on her land, with so much gentle intension and care for the planet. Be En Foret (Bonnie) is a scholar as well. I can't recommend her work enough. I thought you might appreciate some pictures from my order. Note the natural bubble wrap. And the agarwood in Quince. Only the snake spoon🙂 is mine.

Oooof. What a trip it has been. I return from the deep end. Coming off a few week long heavy oil wear to no oil and only incense stick and wood studies.
Started couple weeks ago with a few days of monkoh study technique applied to a dozen frankincense and other resins. Then moved to various agarwood themed evenings. From same species but different locale monkoh sessions to same area same specifies various vendor/grade. Lots learned still…
Last couple nights were kyara studies along with proper old growth vietnam/cambodi/Chinese kinam agars and also few Chinese kinams. 29 different kyara, 11 agars and 4 Chinese kinams.
Most of the kyara are meiko pieces. Small cuts from a named larger piece that comes with poetry and write up by kodo master who graded it. These pieces were 5 purple, 13 green oil, 2 yellow, 9 black oil and 2 white kinams. And oooh buncha cultivated various category were tried as well. Which is a joke. While pleasent and possibly superior to some newer find agarwoods, the real deal Japanese certified pieces are a whole different galaxy.
Named pieces are known for having a twist or uncategorizable unique profile on top or along the textbook classification telltales.
What a privilege and what luck for me to be able to be humbled so many times again and again in front of such gifts of nature. The strong feelings some of these finer pieces emit is nothing short of medicine and magic. Some instantly bring nostalgia while others excite and exhilarate. Some numb. Some elevate. Some keep you in balance of both. Floating transcendence. One gets a 60s cannabis like brain space. Mellow.
Retiring to oils have intense wood studies is always been fruitful for me. I found even more respect for cr Retain oils. Kyara ltd 2.0, Royal kinam, nha trang ltd, pusong ltd, hailam, … are in deed tier of oils that the Woodstock must have been nothing short of god tier woods.
On that note I like to conclude that many many agarwoods trump some kyaras. The dynamics or otherwise monotone character of some agarwoods truly fascinate more than even some good kyaras. The type of wood that these days tends to be 90-25 usd a gram. But I have wood in my stash as low as $17 a gram that I consider belonging into the aforementioned tier. Good news either way is that price of entry is fair esp with group buys. 2 grams of a fine agarwood is plenty. 0.5 is in fact more so than you may use a lifetime. A little powder goes a long way.
Enjoy friends.

nice thoughts 🙂
yesterday at work brought many kyaras and agarwoods so friend who wanna get into the world test them, funny he loved Viet/indo the most and now started to get kodo heater, kyaras and old viet and some daily agarwoods.
today brought my 61 pieces along with other named pieces, yamada 250anniversary set and old agarwood to show him more! and man i love the "neighborhood" kyara, its gorgeous beyond words.
and yup agree, i stopped buying oils for almost over a year, only one i got was one i wanted badly then back to woods again which i'll be sticking on getting some stuff i want.
connection between woods for oils is important for me to understand and appreciate them better, still wood the king and origin !
None....! I went to burn some kinam on Friday that I'd bought from Ed over a year ago, and my heater's not working! I last turned the power on at the wall with the voltage in an "on" position, which I never do - and it just didn't make the wires below the mica plate bit glow no matter the output.
I always have the voltage set to 0 when I turn it on at the wall, not sure if I messed it up here!

What a phenomenal read, thank you 🙏

Shoyeido Matsu grade chunk
Slivers from a preferred chunk,
It’s similar to a sweet type of Brunei,
I have to savor the aroma.

you need a new adapter probably.

If you can still toggle the adapter voltage and doesn't feel that the coil is heating up then based on the scenario you mentioned, I'm assuming the female power jack adapter plug wires might have burned.
or could be loosened some how? The only way is to disassemble the whole thing and check it if you don't feel like there's an issue with the adapter.

That slightly musky opening in some pieces
is so addicting.

I cut this piece
from the small chunk bottom left center
And started burning yesterday afternoon, a good three sessions so far from this one piece! Sweet floral Philippines. Never know what a log piece will give me, could be dry or full of resins.

Today I went all out!! Shaved up 4 different kyaras, put all four in my mouth and softly nibbled on it! Such explosion of numbing spicy medicinal flowers where each aroma would fight to show itself and did so clearly one after the other! I then heated one of each at a time at 80 and switched them up by the 10 minute mark and everytime I also up the heat by ten. Then I just threw them all on the heater at 150 and I will say again that kyara is extremely psychoactive medicine. Everytime I do something like this I feel there is no need for any agarwoods even tho I love my agarwoods so much also. After heating them all at 150 for 5 minutes i decided to throw them in my mouth also...they still have intense flavor and as I am writing this my nose is saturated in bliss and my mouth numb like crazy! I have some under my tongue also. What a happy and blissful feeling! I love this forum!!

I saw that one in the shop! What is it like?
Ashfaque
Jonoon al Oud
Sandalwood (slightly mineralic and watery), some other woods and probably a touch of warm spices. Then I get a white/grey melon-like (the one with green inside) smell behind its woody framework. It's fruity smell reminds me of sakura mochi I had many years ago.

Yamadamatsu SS chunk old stock
The opening is so similar to Walla Patta, but at room temperature it reminds me of KZ’s 1985 oud oil.
