Not sure what else to call it...lol.

It was about a year ago that I got pissed off with Reimer Seeds and vowed to never do business with them. I ordered about $80 worth of pepper seeds and not one single one of them germinated...now...by no means do I claim to be perfect...but at the same time, the seeds cost them pretty much nothing to replace, and they basically called me stupid.

So what to do? They are the only ones I found that have certain peppers that I really want.

So...are there enough pepper-heads here to start a pepper exchange?

Does anyone know of another seed company that carries a huge selection of Peppers?

Beleive it or not...the pepper that I was seeking most isn't even hot. It's called a "flavor pepper". It is supposed to have the same smokey fruity delicious taste as a habanero...but without the heat. I was going to use it to "cut" my Habanero sauce without cutting the flavor off...

Now...I do like a hot hot pepper...but I can't eat a habanero either. I am looking for varieties of Peppers that have exceptional flavor in addition to the heat.

I don't know...maybe the idea isn't pheasable...but at least here is a topic for pepper-heads....

Thank you C-Ray...I wasn't able to find any of those except for pepper joe's before. this gives me a lot more options.

memyselfandi- Is there a flavor to that pepper, or all heat? I've never experienced any of the other "ultra-hot" peppers, and there are many that are hotter than my Habaneros..however, I stopped climbing the heat ladder when I fell in love with that smokey fuity flavor...

I'n not afraid of the heat...although I know I couldn't tolerate it...but I seek the peppers for mixing and other things...not just to strip paint...lol.

I'd love to get some from you, just don't want you to go through the hassle if they will be wasted.
