Agreed -

.. A side-view picture would probably be helpful, if you can post one

From the top it looks like a Habanero. Is it hot?

smokemaster · Jan 28, 2014

Sweet,Hot or?
Calyx looks Chinense or across..

Smells really hot, too scared to taste lol.

Bottom view

I had some "large red scotch bonnets" that looked similar.

gourdmaster · Jan 29, 2014

from the stem and top it looks like a brazilian starfish but the bottom doesnt look typical

Wow...either a very large Jamaican Hab or Red Scotch Bonnet, or could be a medium Jamaican Hab or Red Scotch Bonnet and really small hands??? It is certainly a Chinense and is sure to be plenty hot...

smokemaster · Jan 29, 2014

Congo reds are similar looking too.

More so,IF pods are hot than the several similar mild seasoning peppers that also look similar.

Interesting pepper. There are so many habanero types out there, I couldn't tell you.

filmost · Jan 29, 2014

I guess we can agree it's some kind of chinense! :-)

Is it hot or not? Guess you'll have to try it and find out! Well, that or find a guinea pig hehe

Maybe a pumpkin hab??

roper2008 · Jan 29, 2014

My red congo trinidad was very similar to that, and the same size.

All habañeros are chinense
Not all chinense are habañeros

I was gonna go with Congo Trinidad as well. It's a beaut!

Nice pod!
Probably Congo or alike, take a bite and see Nigel's review for reference:

A Fantastic pepper - Red Trinidad Congo

I didn't say that. There are tons of habanero strains.

Thanks for the replies guys! I figure it's either a habanero or Congo trindad. I picked it up at the grocery store with the hababeros. It was bigger than the rest so i scooped it up. Just started some seeds so we'll see in a couple months i guess.
