Am I growing Bhut Jolokia ?

You know that is only ranked as the 19th hottest pepper.

Had a potted up one growing once, seemed to always struggle no matter where I put it in the yard. Got two peppers from it, before it succumb. My datil and chocolate habaneros are all I need nowdays. Can't really see a need for me to go past the 700,000-800,000 scoville range.

Ill eat it! Never had a chocolate pepper of anykind.

I had scorpion pepper's Last year. They make food hot and all, but they seemed kind of numb until I ate a fresh raw one, which still really was not that bad.
