    Covid Recovery

    I am recovered. Finally my nose is back to normal or perhaps even better than before. It has been a frustrating and long road but using OTC drugs (only in 'murica. 'Murica!) and some very strong suppliment use my sense of smell is back. Reviews to follow.

    Review: EO Maroke Ceylon

    Disclaimer: I have had covid confirmed once by antibody testing in the past year, and possibly once before early in the year with a carrier that came direct from Asia, both times only moderately ropey. My sense of smell & taste have been somewhat affected but are improving slowly therefore...

    The absurdity of Oud as an investment

    Has anyone seen a hoarder docudrama? Some poor befuddled soul living in a place that's flooded with the flotsam and jetsam of decades, unable to discard a single drop. Yes, drop. A freudian slip while writing this post. I read about Oud trading and selling here but I could never bear to...

    Eclipse Oud

    I am setting off this evening under cover of darkness to drive from PA to SC. Should be 9 hours of solid motoring. Thinking of Sandy Run on the day but will have to be flexible regards gridlock. I am going south of the Mason-Dixon on pilgrimage to experience the Great American Eclipse, two...

    Oud altering conciousness

    I needed a wallet. My old one, bought from Tooting market for £35 all those years ago had finally given up on life and fallen apart. So, there I am, on teh interwebs, googling for something of supreme quality that will last a lifetime and I see the saddleback leather bifold. In a heartbeat...

    Father's Day

    This is for all the Daddies out there. So often is our contribution scorned, our work thankless and thought expendable by society. We all matter. https://thefatherlessgeneration.wordpress.com/statistics/ You all matter. Our love for our children is all that matters.

    Legends Sorely Lost

    Dear all, This is a little thread I am starting to moun and commerate the lost Ouds. Ouds we have tried, sampled, and wanted more of only to discover to our dismay that the hand of time was against us and it was all sold out. Feel free to list what you missed recently and why you miss them so.

    Lifetime Supply

    Dear all, I would really like to know. How long does a wee bottle last you? And also if you could post how many bottles you will need for your lifetime stash, that would be swell. For reviewing an oud or for solitary edification which happens every day of my life I just use one good swipe...

    AA Endamage.

    I thought I would be able to guess what type of scent Taha would blend from seeing the reviews of his Ouds here and the descriptions on the AA website. I could not have been more wrong. Not just slightly wrong but full-on ludicrous wrong a la spaceballs tartan with dark helmet. When I opened...

    Is Oud Addictive?

    I have been Oudless now for a couple of weeks and the 'normal' Oud craving that I get usually after my morning shower has still not left me, which brings me to the title of this thread, is Oud addictive in any way? Now, bear in mind that back in the late 80's directly after coming out my local...

    Future Of Oud Kickstarter

    Reading about Oud Yusuf and in the case of Adam's Mai Bo Rai's truly natural, mixed use organic plantations (gutted that I missed buying some, Adam, gutted!) was poetry and brought hope for the future of Oud. I know that in some countries, Thailand for sure, that there are restrictions on...
