So I wanted to hold off on posting this until I got some and tried it, and I have - it's good stuff. I bought the "Byzantine" incense, and it's the same incense my old Eastern Orthodox Church used. Like identical.
I you have no qualms buying incense from an Eastern Orthodox monastery,
check this place out for resin-type incense:
https://www.holycross.org/collections/incense-worship
They supply tons of Eastern Orthodox Churches in North America and presumably around the world.
They have tons of unique flavors.
What's the best-smelling / flavor of incense, and where do you buy from?

I favor Frankensense and myrrh. It smells very pleasant, and I read that it has been shown to reduce anxiety! Also, my little daughter calls it "Frankenstein" insence, which makes me like it that much more

I like Lama Chöpa incense.
It’s cooked up by Poppa Rinpoche at Tashi Jong using over forty different medicinal herbs. Every now and then he’ll show visitors the process of making the incense, it’s actually pretty interesting.

I just found a great incense a few weeks ago. It's a blend of frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood; it's produced by Triloka. It's one of the best smelling incenses I've ever found.
