- My favorite chili!Review by Tom Slick

I highly recommend the smoked option. The flavor is almost a BBQ and the pods are not dried and still moist. I have turned on friends to this smoked chili and they love it! I have dealt with Mark in the past and the customer service and product are excellent! (Posted on 6/22/2015)Quality - I was pleasantly surprisedReview by Tilly

After reading previous reviews of this product, I must admit I was a bit skeptical of buying. However I spoke with Mark who was so very helpful. He had to put up with a lot of questions, however he was so sweet and kind and I had more confidence in the order after speaking with him. The peppers were not very spicy and was not what I expected, however I still like them and was able to make a great hot sauce. Mark recommended the chocolate Bhut Jolokia peppers as they are grown in the US and alot hotter. The peppers were dried and had nothing but seeds on the inside, so there was just the skin of the pepper left. I'm sure that's probably why it wasn't so hot. I will have to buy the powdered kind next time to ensure that my hot sauce is spicy. The delivery was on time and in tact. All in all I would recommend these if you don't want something you are making to be too spicy. It does have great flavor though. Now onto my next order! Thanks Mark for all your help! Great customer service skills. (Posted on 4/15/2015)Quality
