I got a couple of chillies from a blokes at work, just wanted to find out what variety they are. Thought it might be worth grabbing some seed from them.

I thought they were some type of habanero. :?:

Anyone have any clues/ideas on what I have been given?
 
That's how the smaller peppers in a batch of red chinenses I got here in the US looked.

The larger ones looked like this...

I asked the produce guy, and he said they were labeled "Carribbean Red Habaneros" by the people they bought them from. They don't look like a habanero pod type (Where's Willard?) I saved seeds from mine. They had a great sweet fruity flavor that wasn't so smokey like Habs tend to be. More sweet and fruity. I Liked them a lot, and they had a great burn.


Let us know what you think of them!
 
Habs all have that apricot like flavor and smell. I have never got anything smokey out of a hab. I even am harvesting White peruvian habs that are suppose to be smokey that i detect none of== only that charactertic apricot flavor-- just a little though.

You don't notice smokeyness in Habs? Hmmm.... tastebuds are different for eveyone I guess. As you can tell from the picture, I'm a smoker though, so maybe I detect smokeyness in everything! (Except these peppers?!?!?!):lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
I too notice smokiness in the red habs and white and most brown "habs" that I've tried. I notice the apricot flavor mostly in nagas/bhuts
 
They have a nice amount of heat with the burn hitting you at the back of the mouth.

I've saved some seed so they'll get a try out later this year.

From memory they didn't have the flavour you describe, they didn't seem to have much flavour at all.
