Hey Franz, I ordered some Bhuts from pepper joes and I planted 4 seeds and each one germinated. I rec'd the seeds in less than a week, however his shipping is kinda high for something that weighs only ounces. Anyway, I would order from him again. Beth at Peppermania is also good. I've read alot of good posts regarding the hippy seed company. I do plan on ordering from him towards the end of the year.
