I think Joe Delaney might be the only one to have them.
 
Nigel, Looks like you and Joe better dedicate some acreage to this little boy.
I'm thinking there's gonna be hoard of us beating a path to your doors for seed come next fall!
 
I just watched the review again.
You didn't eat those seeds did you?
You need to get them all snugly nestled in the ground -use the neighbor's yard if you must!

A huge thanks to Joe Delaney for sending this amazing pepper to me. Aji jobito is from Venezuela. 
 
First of all, let me say "This is a truly astonishing pepper" so I can get it off my chest. This is the best tasting non-hot C.chinense I`ve ever eaten, bar none. I`ve eaten a few, too!
 
A great looking pepper, to my eyes, and it is even better when you bite into it. The flavors are really sweet, rich and complex.There is a little C.chinense flavor mixed in there, too, but it isn`t strong. The aftertaste is very rich and nutty, like raw almonds or Brazil nuts. Almost oily, but in a great way. The sweetness of the pepper is also rich and reminiscent of dark brown sugar, Persimmons or Mamey sapote. Rich complex and delicious. 
 
There is no detectible heat at all. Who cares?!?!? If something tastes this good it does`t matter one little bit

Well, you got my attention... as do most of your videos. Just when I think I've capped off my grow list, I see 3-4 more videos of peppers I must add. You got me. I got CAPCOM's seed train last week and there were tons of varieties I wasn't familiar with. Aji Jobito was one of them. I spent hours reading up on those I was unfamiliar with to see if I wanted to take seeds from the train. Planted 2 Jobito seeds Saturday. Looking forward to it.
 
I grew this pepper last season, think I added it to the train? I received it from Joe Delaney. He offers an amazing variety of peppers via Seedsavers Exchange. He has done quite a bit of traveling and is conserving and making available wonderful international varieties of peppers and tomatoes. We are very lucky to have access to these. Hats off to you Joe!!! I'm sure he's a member here, but I found him in Seedsavers years ago. You all should try his seeds! I found Aji jobito to be a very special pepper, very complex and delicious!

Oh, forgot, if folks want to find Mr. Delaney's seeds at Seedsavers Exchange they need to peruse the 2015 Yearbook, where the members offer their seeds. Seedsavers Exchange has their own catalogue of listed seeds. Joe is mainly in the Yearbook, Yearbook is what you want.

You did. Your selections in that train were fantastically obscure. I had to look up just about all of them. Looking forward to the Aji Jobito.
 
Dumb question, but how does SSE work? I've been aware of it for 20 years but embarrassed to say I don't know how it works. I know anyone can buy from them. I know you can buy a membership but what do you get? Access to other traders? Is membership good for a year or longer? Worth it?
 
It's worth it to me, I'm a seedsaver. I've gotten most of my favorite varieties from there. I also offer seeds through the yearbook. If you offer seeds, it's cheaper to purchase through the yearbook. You also receive a seasonal mailing with great info. Some folks are mad about politics involved in the organization and have spoken out against it. I try to have an open mind and use the organization to have access to some very exciting seeds from all over the world. I've met some wonderful people, and have shared seeds with many gardeners so it's very worth it to me. Anyone can purchase seeds through the yearbook, you don't have to be a member, it's just more expensive. I love looking through the yearbook which is normally mailed in Jan. It hasn't come yet, they are late this year. It's over 500 pages long, there are around 700 varieties of tomatoes listed, for example. Fascinating stuff in there. I think the membership is $20.00 a year. If you like heirlooms there are descriptions about how the people obtained the seeds, great histories, love the yearbook! The bean section is fabulous.

Welcome senor Figueroa!  We're happy to have you/glad you found us!  The Aji Jobito is a variety I hope to grow next year.  Thanks for putting these seeds out!
 
Welcome Figueroa!
 
I have been reading about this excellent pepper for a while now, looking forward to growing it in the future!
 
Can you describe the other two peppers in the pic? Taste comparable to Jobito?
 
Thanks!
 
Hello friends, I am grateful to Joe Delaney and nigel to publicize a chile that is the pride of my city, I tell you that for me would be an honor to send you seeds of varieties of sweet peppers of my country, but there are several difficulties monetary order, I imagine that everyone should know the bad situation of my country because it is extremely serious and so our moneta this very devalued'll give you an example, I in one month win work almost 30 dollars, meaning that one dollar per day, so I can not do exchanges, unless you pay the postage by regular mail as shipping costs are very high, I would be giving them the seeds, I sold seeds for the value of 10 seeds for 5 dollars, but I can send them a combo seed 30 type 4 varieties that I have, in the amount of 20 dollars, this is just to pay the shipping, I send a lot of seeds if you like, is very embarrassing for me to say this but I can not longer be in this situation and so I see the painful obligation to borrow money by sending (sorry), soon I'll be creating a website to sell seeds of the four sweet varieties and it can overcome something my difficult economic situation, sorry for my bad English (I'm using a translator), I apologize if this review does not meet the forum rules give the authorization to be deleted, I speak Spanish and little English, Greetings from Cumana / Sucre / Venezuela

Hey there Lindberg,

I'd love to get these varieties to try, they sound very tasty.

What is the best way to buy these seeds from you?


SR.
 
hello, the person who is interested should send your personal details and address to my email account (lindbergf@gmail.com) specifying the amount you want or number of combos (30 seeds per type), I will be sending an email with the account paypal to enforce the payment, I must remember that I will be sent them the seeds by mail, if you can lose the shipping I will assume the cost of a new sending by mail, I remember that money that send me is they are just to pay the shipping, not the cost of seeds (if you want to give me something more is your desicion), sorry for my bad English. Greetings from Cumana, Venezuela.
 
Note: are not hybrid seeds
 
Hi Lindberg,

Thank you for your willingness to help out all pepper lovers. I am sorry that things are not good for you economically, but you will find many pepper lovers who will willingly pay for the shipping and your efforts.

Are there any pepper varieties that you would like? There will be plenty of people, including myself, who will help.

And your English is good (much better than my Spanish).

Tom
