I've not heard of that one, have you any more details you can share?

Sorry....haven't heard of it neither. I wonder if it is cross between Pequin and Cayenne?
This site has 3 different Pequins.... http://www.semillas.de/home/strato/www/me/www.merle-online.de/htdocs/cgi-bin/shop_en/shop.cgi

edit to add...  I've been looking and looking under Pecayne name...and nothing comes up at all? Yes...more details please...

Ah..somebody over here kindly pointed to me a link where this chilli was mentioned..not much though...
"Well, the meat
was pretty rank so to disguise
it he used a pecayne, a small
wicked pepper, to cook the
meat that was then served to
the cowboys,"
...this bit was borrowed from article that was written 1986. I've also been told by this same lovely member that it is no longer available across the 'pond'.
Looks like it is going to be my kind of challenge....we'll see if I can get hold of it..

Here's the article for anyone who fancies a read from the The Issaquah Press archive July 2, 1986  http://isq.stparchive.com/Archive/ISQ/ISQ07021986p06.php
