Chile Heads:

Most Chile aficionados agree that the Red Savina Habanero is potentially the
hottest Chile around.  I've noticed claims though in a bunch of seed
catalogs of other Chiles that supposedly rival the Red Savina in the heat
department (e.g, Purira, Devil's Tongue, etc.)  Granted, Scoville ratings
for a particular Chile can differ considerably due to many different
variables.  However, I'm curious to see if members of Chile Heads are able
to arrive at any kind of a consensus regarding the Top Ten Hottest Chiles.

Anyone willing to take a stab at it?  [Note:  A list of 10 different
variants of Habaneros isn't the goal here]
