copal
I lit some copal incense this morning. Sure has a nice smell. Here's a photo i took of it burning in its charcoal well.
"The word copal comes from the Nahuatl word copalli. The sap of the tree is used for incense and the wood used to produce the Alebrijes, whimsical wood carvings.
Copal incense is the dried resin of the copal tree. The incense is somewhat smoky when burned and has sort of a pine scent.
The incense has been widely used since prehispanic times. It is burned year round in Mexican churches and is especially popular in the homes during the Day of the Dead celebrations." (Tomzap internet ref)
