Stone is 7 miles down the road from my house (with another 20 breweries or so within a 5 or 6 mile radius ). I agree about the Cali-Belgique and IMO Stone`s beers have stayed still while others have passed them over the last 7 or 8 years. They do have other offerings at the brewery, obviously. ...

I like it! All my favourites are small podded C.chinense!   My opinion, for what it`s worth, that is you have some sort of hybrid of the original one. Just my 2 cents, though and there is zero evidence other than the way they look vs what I`ve grown a number of times (my seeds came from Brazil)...

  Hi Tom, I have seeds from Tony, but haven`t grown or tried the Carbonaro so far.    I have grown and tried Shabu Shabu and they are a wonderful variety, quite unlike the run of the mill Naga. Shockingly, I did a review, along with Burmese Naga and Naga Raja from Nagaland. The Burmese are the...

Oh and as an addition, if you like those try CGN 20800. Even smaller pods, but incredible flavours. Seeds came from Judy at Pepperlover.  

There are 2 "types" doing the rounds. One is very small and very concentrated in flavour, with a hint of tangerine IMO (the original one). The other is 3 times the size and basically a watered down version in terms of flavour, but not heat. The small one is boom, heat everywhere and gone...

The 7-pot Primo was named by Chris Phillips for the creator, Troy Primeaux, so it's not a generic name, but a very specific one. I believe it was named around 2009. It has, therefore, 4 years of precedence on the Carolina Reaper name.    I will make no comments on the genesis of the Reaper, as...

  I have a single plant left that came from Shawn - 7-pot douglah.    No the x is mine, not associated with Shawn. He and I talked about doing reviews the week he died (he said no and didn`t want to "leave a digital footprint" as he put it) and in fact were going to meet at a brewery to talk...

I have no reason to change my opinion, Tom. One of the very best out there in terms of flavour. This is from fall 2013, so the first year they were grown out after Steve got the seeds from the MoA in Jamaica.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPcnCt5AnT8

The calyx doesn`t look right for a C.baccatum variety. Did you get green spotted flowers? Pods can be decent sized, so I wouldn`t rule it out on size alone, but pods pointing up is a problem.    Peppadew is a trademarked name for a landrace C.baccatum in/from South Africa and the process of...

I`d also suggest Bonda ma Jacques, they are a great match with aromatic fruits.    I`d listen to Mike, too, he knows his beeswax  :drunk:

I was given 5 seeds of this cross and 3 germinated. The cross was made by Michael Pfentner in up-state New York.    Out of those 3, one plant gave purple spotted pods and one was better at showing a bleeding calyx and stem. The plants had similar amounts of purple foliage, but were nowhere near...

  Thanks for doing that, much appreciated!

No idea how I did it in the above example, but spent a while trying to delete the multiples and couldn`t figure it out. 

I`ll never have ads, I just don`t believe in it for this format. I`m not trying to get famous, or on TV and I started doing this in part to honour a friend on THP who died (Pepperproblem). I`d say it was a labour of love, but the stomach cramps kinda taint that sentiment  :P   I only review...

  Cheers Dave!   Thanks a lot Tom, I really appreciate your words.   Hahahaha, I know I should, but I`m just a complete idiot. I grew Jamaican Hot Chocolate this year (it`s my favourite Hab) and they are similar, but the Reaper X is more contorted and bumpier. Similar size, though. Not that...

Chris is quite close to his family while in Hospital, so they can visit him.   Hopefully he will be going home from Hospital today. He`s had a systemic MRSA infection, very low blood cell counts, infected Hickman catheter and his Picc line fell out after 24 hours (alternative to the Hickman). In...
