wanted Massive Habaneros (SASE if anyone wants some)

I was shopping the other day and saw some massive red habanero peppers. I bought 10 of them for about $.50 and brought them home to use for making some different sauces. The one I have pictured below was average size of the ones I bought (2"x2") but a couple were about 3"x3". Most of the habs I get up here are pretty small (1"x1"), so I'm not sure if these really are larger than normal, or I'm not used to getting big habs up in New York. They had a good amount of placenta too. I saved a bunch of seed and am going to grow a few of them next year. If anyone wants some seed send me a PM for my address and let me know how many you want. I have about 200 of them.

The flavor was almost like a trinidad scorpion. The heat level varied a lot on this pepper. The outer flesh had almost no heat and was quite sweet, almost like a fresno, but the area around the placenta produced an intense tongue burn.
