Cienfuegos Orange Hybrid Pepper

Cienfuegos literally means "100 fires", but you should consider that this variety is 200,000 to 300,000 fires (scoville units); a very hot pepper. Fruit are 1½ by ¾ inches. This hybrid is earlier than open pollinated habaneros and has bigger yields. Make your favorite salsa or hot sauce using this pepper.

Cienfuegos comes in two other colors: the much hotter red and the fruitier yellow.
