Hi, Dave,

I'd say that the Jamaicans' are slightly less hot but tastier than the
others.  I'd also say the Savina's were hotter than the others.  Were those
carribean reds that I got from you last year the ones that you were refering
to as your hottest?  In my garden,  I'd say that they were the least hot of
the chinense last year.

We'll see what happens this year.

Tom
