Hi Guys, I actually just signed up upon seeing some discussions on here as well as @thinklikeh20's truffle video. I haven't been in the pepper growing biz since the end of this past fall, in which I had a good 40 bhut jolokia's on 2 plants (both of which survived through hurricane Irene and still doubled in size and kept producing). Even before then I haven't really kept up on hot pepper news until today, when I found out that besides the Trini Scorpion, there's a Butch T version, and the Douglah. I actually found out about them on ebay while shopping for seeds, and started looking up reviews for both, thus me landing on this site. I know a few people have asked for seeds or ask other members for their seeds, or trade and whatnot. I actually have seeds of a lot of things aside from peppers to trade if it came to that, but that's getting off topic.
My first debate is, although the past year has brought me some good sellers of seeds on ebay, I know a lot of people have phoney butch T seeds or douglah seeds, and not all their pictures match up. I've seen two douglah pics, one with a very rough looking wrinkly texture even while still green, and round like a habanero shape, and one that was a little longer like a bhut jolokia with a rounded tip, and smooth texture. That got me to question it. Anyone have experience buying from ebay these types of seeds, and what are your thoughts?
Second is hearing mixed reviews about the Douglah, and not hearing much about Butch T as far as flavor goes. Douglah was described as earthy and sweet, but others say it's pungent and tastes nasty, and I'm not sure if they were referring to the chocolate douglah or the yellow ones that I've also seen being sold around. Granted to each their own, I just don't know if I would get these seeds if their allegedly bad flavor would affect whatever they're put in or on as far as food goes. Anyone have more accurate descriptions about those and the Butch T, and if the two peppers competed, which would be hotter, which would have better flavor, and which would be avoided as to not put someone in a hospital?
Lastly, I'd like to get some seeds, but I do have the suspicion about ebay. If anyone has genuine butch T and douglah seeds (chocolate or yellow) and are willing to spare a few, I could paypal a few bucks for shipping, or trade my own seeds, even if they aren't pepper seeds, since I'm assuming most of my pepper seeds everyone who's a grower would probably have already, lol.
Anyway, thanks for the advice in advance, hopefully I can make a decision or trade with some of you for a handful of a few types of seeds, I'd also be looking for...I forget what they're called, Blue something or other peppers, I just know that they look like dark purple grape-shaped peppers that ripen to a bright orange, had them in my Aerogarden seed kit years ago, those I'd be willing to trade for some too. Feel free to PM me if you don't mind parting ways with a few seeds, or if you want to know what other kinds of seeds I have.

Just a hint, pepper flavor and preferances are pure opinion. I am fond of TS regs because it was my first SuperHot. Its tough to sell on Ebay most everybody thinks your a scammer.
