I've had these before (don't confuse them with the paltry Jelly Belly jalapenos). I got them at the Hot Shoppe, a store in Syracuse that may as well be the Shangri-La of chile heads. The 800 number is 1-800-HOT-EATS. They may have them there or, if not, they'll order them for you. Also ask about the habanero pretzels-these are easily the greatest snack food ever made. -Dan
