Selected pieces that are solidly resinated, they seem to produce less smoke, and the aroma sneaks up on you, it seems subtle at first, but when I walk out of my room then re-enter, the aroma is everywhere.

Maunamoku's Kalimantan sample that I got with the last order I got from him. Beautiful Borneo wood!!! I ordered 3 grams of Pontianak from Kangiiten which is also very good pure heartwood of West Kalimantan wood, waiting for it coming in the next 2-3 weeks. This wood is very nice by Maunamoku, it is very, very resinous, always bubbling and the resin just bubbles like mad out of it, the smell is very nice, woody oudiness with sweet notes of chocolate, cream and butter. I kept getting images of someone cooking a soft cookie with chocolate core type of cake, but in the jungle. Also, a refreshing feeling as well was there.
Wonderful wood, very, very pleasing.

Smells so Oud
CK powder from Al Hind Oudh. Really quite spicy and peppery.

Isn’t that kalimantan delicious? This is what I burn when I want things to smell great these days.
One of my absolute favorites!
I agree brother, is very tasty! Something very satisfying and delicious about the spices in this one

Kangiiten - Green Shin Kyara.
I really enjoy these CK woods from Kangiiten, it’s amazing to me that you can experience some of the Kyara profile for so cheap. Obviously, you’re not receiving the full Kyara experience but this is beautiful rich Agarwood.
Minty, floral, sparkling top notes. Resinous, cinnamon-vanilla base notes that go on forever on low heat. I honestly don’t care that it’s cultivated, it smells lovely to my nose! Quite psychoactive also, an instant mood enhancer.

Slice of Imperial Oud's Tawi Tawi wood.
Funky filipino barn at soft opening temperatures.
Good memories from the old days.

Agreed. The blue / green oceanic petrichor tones that some woods & oils exhibit are spectacular. It still amazes me the aroma comes from wood!

Yeah have the same with wood & oil, so many differences on different temperatures also, just mindblowing !

Maunamoku's Walla Patta, Red Soil. Absolutely lovely, yet very strange wood, to me anyway lol. I usually make slivers and powder out of it and put it on the heater, it really sings at 140-160c or so. Deep earthy notes including "clean" soil that smells lovely (strange, I know), creamy notes, sweetness like sweeties and sweet jungle chocolate notes. Lovely wood.
Pre burn look; btw I didn't use all of this and it was still an amazing and STRONG, potent, session, and I only carved out 0.25g and the after burn pic I will show you still has life in it:

I have sampled three woods from maunomoku and they all went in the “special occasion” bin… actually I extracted the CK bead scrap to make a tincture - it was a nice dense resinous specimen of CK
My burn of the day is this powdered incense mixture from Kangiiten. “Sei-Gen Koh” reminds me of the simple unaugmented medicinal herb mixes that baieido does so well. I’ve tried to make mixtures like this myself many many times, and examining this one closely on the subitism (after previously, only having burned it as an incense trail) was very interesting… the various notes are well balanced, and blended and the ingredients, smell, rich and high-quality. I’m used to smelling more edgy or harsh plant fiber notes in t
It is easy to recognize some of the components but they don’t stick out like sore thumbs. This feels like the result of a fair amount of experimentation, or maybe an old recipe that has been refined over time. Very nice stuff and it burns perfectly when using a stencil.

I am heating the Cultivated Kinam from Sulaym for a couple of days to enjoy it and get my heater clean of off notes.
Its hard for me to describe wood heating or burning as it is a volatile experience and nuances keep coming and going
This CK is a nice floral spicy bitter and sweet kinam. It has a faint smell at room temp and it blossoms at around 60-80° for me. Its very beautiful and alive at these degrees.
I never like CK on high heat (from the couple I experienced till now), its somehow just woody and looses all these beautiful facets at low temp.
Some very nice Mysore from Kashti with a soft thick texture

KZ Brunei heartwood
As usual, good stuff, I’m just hoping Kangiiten’s Brunei K will have a similar profile.

KZ Jayapura Tigerwood from his Monkoh Series.
Very enjoyable, just a little dust goes a long way on the heater.
Also wondering what Kangiiten’s Brunei K will be like 🧐

You dont know if it is the same wood? As far as I know Kyarazens master left and his stash went to Kyarazen and Kangiiten

The first time Kyarazen offered Brunei agarwood was on his own website, and at that time he sold sinking, half sinking, and non sinking. I got in late so I ended up with the non sinking, the others were already sold out. Then a few weeks later he offered the Premium Brunei heartwood which was very fragrant at room temperature, I got that one also. Comparing the two, the profiles are a little similar but not close to the same. I sold all the non sinking but kept the Premium heartwood. The Premium heartwood included some of the shavings, but based on the picture of Brunei K, I dont see any shavings.
The Premium that I have seem to be more resinated, see the picture below.
