That's your imagination getting carried away by rumor. Touch your tongue
to the seed vine inside and you'll notice a big difference. :o)

Touch a habanjaro to your lips sometime. :o) Are Papa John's jalapenos
sliced or whole? Once sliced, the juices from the seed vine will go
everywhere. I tried a bit of 'Chili Habanjaro' sauce on my Huevo Rancheros
breakfast yesterday. It was slightly hotter than Tobassco sauce and only
stayed with your taste buds for 20 or 30 seconds. We had a great two days
exploring Corpus Christi this weekend.
