@John absolutely, and I too have love and respect for those who dedicate themselves to their work, their mission, and who contribute to the advancement of an art or science, and conversely I believe it's equally important to preserve the art and tradition and not exploit newcomers and blind consumerism.
Again this isn't about any one individual, the topic however brought up a point that I feel is extremely important for everyone to understand.
I'm not worried about you at all, you're experienced with wood and know what you like, the concern I have is for the tradition when so many out there are drooling over fantastic pictures of oud made to look like 'kyara' and the overall preservation of the standards we go by.
Just as so many now call 'natural oud,' the mono-toned agarwood oil produced in plantations, artisanal oud oil, it seems we're heading in the direction to call what was once just regular oud, 'kyara.'
I know that's the general direction of society, fast food is now a standard people live by, musk is white, ambergris is ambar, and so for people with those standards oud might as well be kyara.
You and everyone else are free to do as you like, but for me, my food is homemade, musk granules are black and from a sac with an orifice near the testicles of the deer, ambergris is the floating chunk of whale excretion, oud remains oud, Kyara, Kyara and Kinam Kinam.
While I'm also glad to hear of your enjoyment of Ceram '96, I'm not fishing for compliments for Ensar Oud, I'm raising awareness in hopes to uphold the standards.
