*** To me & according to AVAILABILITY ...

* HINDI - Royal Indian Kalakassi 150 years old from ASAQ. But not the current one. It has been already extinct.
You can try Asam 3000 & Assam Organic from EO for now. Both are AMAZING oils anyway.

* MALAYSIAN - Oud Sultani & Purple Kinam.

* BORNEO - Borneo 50k & Archipelago.

* CHINESE - China Sayang & Hainan 2005.

* VIETNAMESE - Kinam Rouge for the price right now.
(Top legends are Nha Trang Ltd/Kyanm No 1/Guallam Solide & Royal Guallam but those are too expensive.)

* NEW GUINEA - Port Moresby but this one is sold out long time ago as well. (Currently Green Papua is the 'Bang for Buck')
Sultan Ahmet also. Expensive though.

No way man! Old School Vietnam is really nice, I just am not a guy that can do huge smoke. Once it mellows a bit it is really nice, super nice. I suspect all these smoke lovers would die over this one!

Wish I could have smelled Ma Maroke and a few of the others.
