Found this old thread - Chicago - are you thinking of Habanero? These days, that is relatively mild compared to several of the newer peppers out there. I don't eat them though.

I have a rare and unusual tropical plant business called The SIlent Seed. What kind of business do you guys have?

Welcome! Where are you from?
