Bhut, or a danged close relative.

Yea, what grubby said. :)

Thank you for the response. Would you say these appear to be doing well? I ask only because of the darker color on the top of the peppers. I have read several posts, looked at several pics and I haven't seen any pictures with peppers that look like mine. I am new to growing (no kidding, really?) and would like some tips on growing and what I can expect the peppers to look like throughout their growing process.

They look like a Bhut, but they look to be hybrids of some kind; the
darker colour is normal, I have some that are bright green then turn a
darker shade of green, then purplish (almost black), then a very bright
shade of red.

Those chiles you have there are extremely hot, if you taste them as
they are (choose one with a darker purplish shade) and you will
experiment a different taste than when they are bright red. But take
just a small bite. When they dry, the heath is found mostly near the
seeds and not in the skin, when green, lots of heath is in the skin. I
have a few different varieties, mine at first were elongated bhut
jolokias, but due to cross pollination with chiltepines, now they are
rounder and to my taste a bit hotter though never as how piquant a
chiltepin or a piquin can get when freshly cut in its reddish state.

When red, they have a fruity taste, a bit acid, its kick is not as
fast as with the smaller chiles I will show you (a variety of piquin and
a variety of chiltepin, both much much larger than the originals which
are at most a centimeter long), when green they taste like... I don't
know, like leafs. At first maybe you won't be able to eat as much of
that chile, but after a while you get used to it and it is not as
pungent as the first time you tasted it.

Right now I am
cultivating about 40 or so of those plants, crossing my fingers so they
can survive the winter, with care they can last a few years, though in
their later years the chiles lose some punch compared to the first two
or three times a plant (or rather a shrub because that's what they look
like), produce.

Thanks for the response Miguel. It is very detailed. However, I do not see the pics you talk about.
