Must have this pepper
I've grown this pepper for two summers now, and I have to say it is fantastic in every way. This is one of the traditional peppers used in Latino cooking. Compared to a jalapeno it is like the Jaguar sports car and the jalapeno a common sedan. It grows in the shade, in the sun, in the wet and cold, and in the hot and dry, a prolific and versatile variety. I have so many of these peppers the neighbors all come by to see if they can take home a dozen or so. If you smoke them over a flame and then use them in dishes/salsa they are extremely tasty.

Best of Show Illinois State Fair!
This is an amazing pepper. I did a poor job categorizing when I started my plants, which resulted in accidentally planting seven of them in my five by ten community garden plot in Chicago. At the Illinois State Fair with these peppers, my wife and I won the hot pepper other class and won Best of Show for peppers.
