I really enjoy incenses based on sandalwood too!
We also found by the Kyôto brand some cherry tree smells, or another one very spicy called as "golden pavillon" (you know, the famous Kinkaku!), some others that could be used in winter, ...

I never tried the powder incenses stuff too, for the same reason as not having the stuff.
I use to burn this when I'm in a calm mood and wanted nothing but just sit on the tatamis drinking sencha or fresh beer, while thinking about nothing else. I sometimes use them while reading too, it's too nice stuff!

We pay here at about the same prices than you (but converted in Euros, naturally, so it is not so much expensive for the quality). We also have the 30 to 50 sticks cylindric paper cases.
