Wild - quite a nugget! I always assumed the big chunks like that were set aside for display pieces, and just high quality scrap was used in the stills.

Yeah,your thoughts are right,but my goal is distilling best ever ouds,so,i am trying to source best materials i can find.And happily i have really good sources
And for my distillations,i use only real incense grade wild chips

Mid range A. Crassna, maybe Vietnam or Cambkdiq idk lol i love thr smell of this on a tiny bricklet from shoyeido smell anyway. It's lovely imitating sweet pure 4k HD red and purple berries and some spirits berries and the smallness of the incnese beautiful 😍.

Reason for bad spelling: I was on my phone and a lil buzzed at night lol, and I am terrible at writing on my phone anyway lol

I found this wood in an old @mesOUD bag and IDK if it is his cultivated Hindi or another agarwood, but it looks really nice and I have 1.5g of it, wonder what it smells like on heater... will give it a go maybe today or tomorrow.

BTW: Yes, I have bought so much wood from people for 10 months, and some times you just get a lot of it like not out of the ordinary stuff, until recently , but slightly... but for mid ranges I was buying and STILL buy blind and can get amazing wood though, also risky haha. So i have so much pieces of wood that can be heated and ive broken some of a package up and put it somewhere for me to stumble upon it again lol and i find wow amazing pieces and very low range pieces just lying about . weird.

The charming thing about old agarwood is the charm that cannot be copied.

Can you tell us a little more about the woods when you post them? You post so much woods and I would like to hear what kind they are, how old you think they are or told they were etc? And do you heat these woods or do you just collect and not heat?

I'm still trying to figure out when it came from.

Ahh, how do you get these woods, though? Like I know where I get all my premium woods that are expensive, so I would guess you would too?

I came to Taiwan from Vietnam 30 years ago to make incense raw materials. I rarely see comparable agarwood in form, flavor, and authenticity. Although the small pieces of agarwood are made with great care.
