Myrrah is the encens used in Catholic Churches traditionally.

Pontifical incense blend has frankincense, myrrh, and styrax benzoin.

Catholic church is the biggest buyer of frankincense...

Sometimes also cedar which is interesting from a Haze point of view as well imo.

When I was an altar boy a long time ago, it was pure myrrh who was used in the church but it's possible it became more and more expensive so they use a mix now.

Frankincense is very expensive also, about the same price...

Myrrh only? Was it a funeral?

 

[kro-magnon]

Just the Sunday mass.

Olibanum aka frankincense has a sharp piney-lemony scent close to rosemary when burned..

Myrrh is more woody, sweet, spicy when burned

 

[kro-magnon]

What plant exactly frankincense come from? When I try to translate in my own langage it's just a term used to describe all incenses and one time it refers to oilban so I'm a bit confused about its real nature;

Thank you that's what I was looking for, so frankincense refers to oliban, the Somalian incense.

Myrrh and frankincense are two aromatic resins that have been valued for centuries for their distinctive fragrances and uses in various cultural, medicinal, and religious contexts. Here are the key differences between the two:
Source
Myrrh: Myrrh is derived from the sap of trees belonging to the Commiphora species, particularly Commiphora myrrha.
Frankincense:
Frankincense is obtained from the sap of trees in the Boswellia genus, especially Boswellia sacra.
Appearance
Myrrh: Myrrh resin appears as reddish-brown or amber-colored lumps or tears. It has a rough, uneven texture.
Frankincense: Frankincense resin is generally pale yellow to golden in color, with a smoother texture and sometimes in the form of larger, more regular tears or chunks.
Aroma
Myrrh: Myrrh has a warm, slightly bitter, and earthy scent with hints of spice and balsamic undertones.
Frankincense: Frankincense has a sweet, woody, and slightly citrusy fragrance, often described as uplifting and more complex.
Uses
Myrrh: Traditionally used for its medicinal properties, myrrh has been used in embalming, as an antiseptic, and in perfumes. It is also used in religious rituals and as an incense.
Frankincense: Frankincense is widely used in religious ceremonies, especially in Christian and Islamic traditions. It is also used in aromatherapy, traditional medicine, and perfumery for its calming effects and distinctive scent.

Medicinal Properties

Myrrh: Known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and analgesic properties. It has been used to treat wounds, infections, and as a general tonic.Frankincense: Valued for its anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and immune-boosting properties. It has been used in treating arthritis, respiratory issues, and in promoting skin health.

Historical and Cultural Significance
Myrrh: Myrrh has been mentioned in ancient texts and was one of the gifts brought by the Magi to the newborn Jesus in the Christian tradition.Frankincense: Similarly, frankincense has been used in religious rituals for thousands of years and was also one of the gifts of the Magi. It has a prominent role in various cultural and spiritual practices.
Both myrrh and frankincense hold a significant place in history and continue to be valued for their unique properties and applications.

Nobody who smoked Bandaid Haze can tell me its church its straight camphory after burn ,I will call it Myrrah my cut of Jack is straight Church Frankeincense....few people that dont smoke at all when they smell fumes of burned Jack they say its exactly like Church Incense.

Bandaid smell much more piney compared to meaty Jack....meat hazes = frankie
Piney hazes = myrrah.

For people that dont have those resins and are not familiar with scents...frankie smell like Rosemary and Myrrah like Eucalyptus in genral.

[goingrey]

so Piff is just NL5xHz ?

Probably, yeah

 

[HappyDude32ed]

I have a question.

Do any of these current hype Piff cuts or seed lines have the heavy "incense in the air" smell when smoking.

In my experience just because a bud itself smells piffy doesn't mean it will carry this particular burning incense trait, which I associate with old school Haze.

CBH, Haley's, Bandaid Haze, etc are all said to be piffy, but are they incense-y when smoked? A lot of people I asked about Bandaid said no actually.

Any thoughts or experiences? Thanks

@i.love.scotch
I believe @Nobody's Nursery has a "Church" Cut of Bandaid Haze still. He hunted 20 packs of Bandaid Haze to find her.

Short flowering time too compared to the Bandaid Haze.
70-75 days for the "Church" compared to the 100+ of the BH

Everyone I hear who has tried her says she is very special. I am hoping to get a cut of her soon. I believe she will be the closest thing to the original Piff I had in the 90s.

Psycodelic headspace with no paranoia
Deep frankincense smell and taste
High resin production

The Piff of the 90s filled the room with incense and I would trip out after a blunt to the head. Used to see cartoon movies play on the wall. And if I looked at anything else it would morph whatever I looked at. A very similar effect to mushrooms in my experience. So I am hoping she will do the same thing.

state of mind.

Awesome thread, love me some piff. Heres one I’ve been holding for a while, Audubon Gold Haze. I’ll be mono-cropping this one in a few months when my current run of WiFi 3 finishes , will come back and post some flower pics then.
