Bradley is right - never wash the skins of charred chiles!  Mark Miller
talks about this in his excellent book (available from Ten Speed Press),
"The Great Chile Pepper Book".

Washing the chiles washes away all the oils that make the chile taste
good.

Instead, cover the charred chiles with a towel - placed over a bowl -
and allow the steam to remove them for you.  Then take a fork and peel.
