Burn of the Day

Someday archaeologists using sophisticated chemical forensic analysis will discover a strong chemical signature of the combustion products of extinct tropical tree species in the residues deposited on the surfaces of wherever it is that oudamberlove is living (which I believe is well outside of the range of crassna). They will be mystified

Not to mention the chemical signature of extinct animals as well. (Sperm Whales, Hyraxes, Beavers, Musk Deers, and Civets)

Wild Philippines powder - Kangiiten. This powder I feel more than some others really goes through significant scent changes as the temp rises. Spicy/pepper/salivary/warm menthol/cherry. Love it.

Yum great description. I need to see if I tucked some away with my last Sandalwood haul.

ground up a bunch of 4a sheets and king super char together. this powder is tough to burn cause of how resinous it is, but once you torch it, it burns right and smells great! im amazed at how quickly the grain mill powdered this down. just a few seconds would be all you'd need to get it to distilling consistency. this was a full minute in the blender.

Cultivated kinam can be wonderful! I'm so happy this stuff is available...

There’s a powdery vibe at medium heat,
lovely oudh.

Revisiting the Nishi Honganji batch. It has a distinct, bitter, indonesian profile. And carries with it that surreal depth, the kind that saturates the air and pierces to the back of the head. Also got some lovely powdery top notes on lower heat.

I'll be doing a couple sessions of this today, and take some new pictures for you all.
Realizing now that I have far more of this than I can use. I'd be interested to send out some free samples and/or sell the surplus if anyone's interested

Two class acts ~ and the woods are exceptional.

Sinking Ant Nest East Kalamatan ~ mesOud. A lenticular flash of reds and purple, hint of powder.

Sarawak Pieces ~ Maunamoku, honey agarwood pieces, a touch of mineral, and spice.

Absolutely! Was this wood obtained from the temple? First I've heard of it. Always down to try something new.

They have a long history with incense and some insane stuff locked away. From what I understood, this is more for practical use and ceremony.
Even so, it's well processed and cleaned, and seems aged at least a little. Some pieces are a more natural cut than others, this piece is next up for me..

Lovely. So you actually bought it from the temple during a visit? Nice to know this wood has some spiritual significance behind it.

Exactly! Though I can't take all the credit, I had some help getting connected.

This piece is very resinous on the one side, and taking shavings works well.
It's quite dry, and prefers a lower heat. But even without the water weight, it puts out a lot of vapor at 90 - 150c. And even some nice golden bubbles.
At 180c it started showing some toasted notes and the profile gets a little confused and overwhelmed. By 220c it's not to my taste anymore, though it's very potent.

Here's some 60X photos of the chip.

And the side profile

Making me jealous with those pics!

Burning some slivers I found in a drawer, sweet woody aroma I'm pretty sure it's Indian. Label lost
