This inspired me to make an order this morning! Do you prefer the long stick or short stick version?

After doing a side by side with some other sticks,
the camphor in Gaho became more apparent.

Dr. Incense Processed Myanmar
Dr. came out with this on one right on time. Prayers up for Myanmar. And for everyone else.
Good stick. Nice, pure buzz. Woods, dry hay, resin bubbling on a charcoal.

it's aboud time!
So it looks like ensar just released some pressed incense sticks today similar to the hainan ones I have on offer in my channel for the February Raffle.
The ones he's offering I've tried before - they are very good too. Really high quality cambodian sticks - unless I'm totally mistaken, they are from the same supplier as my sticks. The hainan are a lower grade but made the exact same way. The supplier also offers these in nha trang, hoi ann, and a nha trang + kynam variant. He's not selling it this way, but the cambodi sticks are described by the supplier as being a type of cambodian kinam or at least that kind of aromatic profile.

seems like this 'pressed incense' is trending. I find them to be a bit acrid and not necessarily superior to traditional makko+ingredients stick.
they burn longer though. maybe around 40minutes.
I'm burning this 'pressed' cultivated kinam incense at the moment. it makes a lot of smoke. I prefer to break it and heat it on a subitism burner.

I don't disagree - actually I find that these pressed sticks are more geared towards fragrencing a larger space than the super thin sticks. But they do give off more smoke, and definitely burn hotter than thin sticks.

Ive always wanted to try this supplier! It’s cool to see their work reaching so many different places.

Has he opened his Shop again. - I wish but no.
I have like 4 or 5 sticks left in the tube from my previous purchase.

What I love about a well-made incense is the ability of most of the resin to flee the burning ember tip, it races all the way to the end of the stick, which at that point it will have no where to go, making that last bit of smoke unpleasant.
This process allows you to get more of the aroma, than a burnt resin smell, but with the compressed sticks, the resin cannot flow down the stick as freely, hence more smoke and acrid.

I am saying it here. Curt and Taesik are incense geeks we needed in this thread.

Burning some Tibetan Incense this morning.
“Gangtruk Grade A Incense from the Shang Valley of Shigatse”
This stuff is incredible. Musky, pungent and herbal while maintaining this incredible spice. Strong peppery cumin like notes with fresh saffron vibes on top of sandalwood. I layered a bit of this with East Malaysia from Ken and it created an exquisite leather accord.

Dr. Incense Sri Lanka
After heating a lot of Sri Lanka oudh latey,
I am happy that the Dr.’s stick is just like
Sri Lanka slivers sizzling on the mica,
and a nice profile too.

Akikaze,
slightly bitter, agarwoody,
with a spicy kick.
By comparison,
Sho Bai Koh,
sweet, mellow,
with less spice,
quite soothing.

Aso kinam sticks - such depth and really incredible aroma. I love my little sample. Heat just a little bit as a pick me up!
