Oh great... not this shit again.
It was so nice to hear that the ButchT won, because it was a tried-and-true strain amongst chileheads. Certainly a big step up from the previous two unstable, hybrid "I got the hottest! I got the hottest! I win! I want an award too!" bullshit. It was even nice back when the Bhut Jolokia was awarded, because it's a variety bred over the centuries from I read, using traditional breeding and selection.
Now it looks like we might be back to the Infinite and Naga Viper crap all over again. With the main difference being... this thing doesn't even have a name.
Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. I think Guinness needs to focus purely on tried-and-true, stabilized plants whose offspring will grow true, and especially those which are known and regarded by chileheads themselves as some of the hottest of the hottest. Not some random "me-too!" wanna-be poser who can't even stabilize a cultivar, or worse yet, name it.
