Kyukyodo incense sticks.
Each house seems to have their own signature.

The sinking filipino woods do very well on the kodo cup... where did you get yours?

just looked and can't see it in the UK
Lots of the higher end Japanese incense I have to import from the US and pay a high import tax
Had to pay £30 on an $80 order
very annoying

Today, first thing I lit was Nipponkodo Tokusen Kyara Kayou.
Luv it!
I tried the Kyara Momoyama, not bad.....but not as resin rich as Kayou.
If anyone has tried Nipponkodo Kyara Asuka, I would love to hear about it.

Had a session with @Habz786 's Sinking Sri Lankan oud. wow.
I've been rather blasé with burning oud lately - I just break some pieces off, stick it on my burner at 3/4 max temperature and go about my day with the oud on the heater maybe 8-10ft away. Never paying attention to it.
I'd read somewhere our dear @powdernose posting about Taha's generation 3 burning technique involving burning a small piece of wood at high heat then turning it down, turning it down again then blasting it up again, turning the piece over and repeating. I thought I'd give this a shot, and for the first time in ages, I sat in front of the burner actually paying attention to the wood for a good 10 minutes. wow, what an experience. I burned about 1/8th of what I usually do and my experience was so much better for it. I had a bit of "head light/numbness" (although perhaps attributed to breathing heavily and focused for a while) and really felt into it while doing so.
I need to not take this whole oud burning so lightly and to be much more present while doing so - I will definitely be doing this with more types of woods to see what other amazing burning I can experience!

Dude!
Burning oudh covers many levels.
From the faintest top notes, to all-out fumigation.
It can get “so involved”, that I feel......the amount of time and attention spent on it is meditative in itself. Excellent therapy for well-being!

I can’t identify the sweet note, such a complex stick, but lovely indeed.

A light dosage of Kyara, and minimal added aromatics.
Gentle and good.

Heated tiny slivers of Shoyeido Kyara...
...from this stock:
After that session, I experimented heating some crushed WSG Baina incense. They surely use nice woods.
