So where are we now? There are only two authorized sellers of Carolina Reaper Seeds: Pepper Joe's and Puckerbutts. That will be the LAST time another company packages our seeds for us. We're here for ya Bro Ed.īut in our 25 year history we've ALWAYS packaged our seeds in house and did it ourselves.
Puckerbutt's is still a small emerging company and is learning from their mistakes. I just want my customers to be happy.and MY name is on the purchase.not PuckerButts. So my customers got MORE Carolina Reaper seeds than they expected. I replaced those seeds with an entirely NEW pack of seeds at my expense. I've received maybe a few hundred complaints that seeds were light in quantity. However, when I took possession of Ed's packaged didn't go so well. Him and Bob Nunnemcamp vowed that they would. But when I counted the seeds that Ed's people packed.the quantity ranged from 7 to 16 seeds per pack. I want to give my customers more than they expect. I clearly told Ed that I wanted 12 Carolina Reaper seeds in every envelope. Then we had customers complaining that their seed count was light. Ed had his reasons for that and that is between him and the Chilehead community. Smokin' Ed didn't answer back on the Blogs. Pepper Joe stepped in and was a staunch supporter of Ed's.and we took most of that heat in the early days. I can't speak directly to that as I've never seen Ed's testing records. The Chilehead community accused Ed of releasing the Carolina Reaper before it was a stable variety. It wasn't exactly smooth sailing at the beginning. Our customers are reporting that as the plant matures and the summer gets hotter, the pods become more Reaper-ish and gnarly looking. Our customers have grown out approximately 150,000 Carolina Reaper plants with most of the pods showing incredible results.
And according to our Facebook page of over 110,000 fans/customers they're having a blast growing the Carolina Reaper. HOT? The Guinness Book Of World Records has documented the heat level at 1,569,000 Scoville Heat Units. It has a sweet chocolate-cherry under tone with a hint of citrus. This new Carolina Reaper is an absolutely amazing pepper. Then FINALLY on November 14th, 2013 Guinness declared the Carolina Reaper the Hottest Pepper in the World. World's Hottest PepperĪ press release came out on August 27th, 2012 to introduce the Carolina Reaper to the World. We even went to the Winthrop University to validate the testing procedures for the Carolina Reaper with Doctor Cliff Calloway. We did our due diligence and visited his greenhouses, farms, irrigation system, etc. We met at a restaurant in Barefoot Landing in Myrtle Beach on February 16th, 2012.Įd explained that he saw us as the top Hot Pepper Seed company in the world and wanted us to help him market his invention, the Carolina Reaper. They wanted to line up a meeting and ask us to be the exclusive distributor for his Carolina Reaper seeds. Ed later stated that the only company that he's bought pepper seeds from was Pepper Joe's. He introduced himself to Joe and explained that him and Ed Currie were big fans of Pepper Joe's. The Carolina Reaper Pepper story started for Pepper Joe in January, 2012.īob Nunnencamp, Ed Currie's top executive came to the Charlotte Home and Garden show.
