@Ensar
Dearest Sir,
Hellfire And Damnation, Are you trying to kill me?
You know, you could just come round to my place, truss me, sell off my organs slowly on the Chinese market while I lay in an ice-bath without anasthetic and it would be much less painful than all the covetousness I am experiencing.
Call yourself Ensar Oud, do you?

More like Ensar Dé Bloody Torquemada!
I thought the worst frustration that was Oud-related is when I blissfully unawares took a naughty little swipey of filthy dirty, dirty good Dr. Hindi while motoring, but no, you had to go and release
that Oud.
Sigh.
I was discussing when I will re-enter the workplace earlier but mostly thanks to you (!!!) I might very well accelerate the timetable and cut out living in SE Asia just in order to get my
more than fair shake of that as well as Archipelago, Purple Kinam, Sultan Ahmet, Oud Ahmad, Xiang Liao Ling, Green Papua, Borneo 500, all your olde ouds.... your kitchen sink....
Of course, one of the most peturbatory things about this situation is that after I get those treasures from you and start swiping I probably will not be able to even muster up a humanly decent amount of spite to mentally cast at you!
So please accept
this with my most genteel regards now.
Now, on a slighly more serious note, I see that it is marketed as Aroha Kyaku +.
Well, I'm going to disagree with you publically and on one of your own Ouds, no less, and say that while it might be technically and artistically superior to AK it but no other Oud you or anyone else will ever produce can be as special as AK.
It was my
first.
It opened my mind up to the wonder and splendour of every other Oud and I think because of that I react to it in such a profound way.
***** Rant Concluded *****
By the way, is it just me or did anyone try AK as their first and feel strongly about it too?
