Hi there, this is my first year growing hot peppers & i have grown bhut jolokia, habs, fatalli, scotch bonnets & rocottos.
the chilli in the photos below is supposed to be a Bhut Jolokia.
can anyone confirm this or have any ideas what it might be. thanks

Looks like a Chocolate Bhut to me and a very nice one to boot

Thanks for the replies i thought it was myself. The packet label just said Bhut Jolokia & none of my other Bhuts have ripened any fruits to compare. i will probably try & overwinter this plant

Im not brave enough to eat it raw but tried a little sliver threw the rest into a curry, and very nice it was too, it was also very very hot
