How to buy oud chips
01
Start with the tola
A tola is twelve grams. Most people buy one tola to try a grade, then move to three or five once they know it suits them.
02
Origin sets the character
Vietnamese, Indian, Thai, Indonesian, Cambodian and Filipino chips each burn differently, and each sits at its own price.
03
Burn less than you think
A chip the size of a grain on a low heat scents a whole room. Slow-burn sheets make a portion last longer.
