Blair's 4 AM #642
Just saw an open bottle of 4AM on ebay. It was #642. When the 4AM came out I orderd it DIRECTLY from Blairs site. My 4AM number bottle is #642!!! Also it looks like on Blairs site the pic he uses is #642 but it looks different from either of the OTHER 2 #642 4AM’s. Why is there so many of the #642??? Didnt think this was supposed to happen.

Here’s the Blair’s 4AM on ebay:
You can see the auction here. The numbers are a little smudged from the opening I suspect, but it certainly does look like #642. This signature and number are in gold ink. On a side note, this guy must be quite optimistic thinking he can sell an opened bottle for $1,500.
Here’s Scotts bottle #642:
Scott’s bottle is signed and numbered in silver ink.
And here’s bottle #642 from Blair’s site:
Now this bottle looks to be signed with gold ink – note the loop in the ‘L’ in Blair which isn’t present on the other two.
Just amazes me to see all 3 of those bottles right there at the same time. Ive been wired all day since this morning when I saw another #642 on ebay. Uggghhh!!!!
Scott – It looks like your bottle could be #672 or #612 (unless the picture is at the wrong angle), but that still doesn’t explain the other two.
The pic is kina fuzzy but it is 642. His 7’s dont cross in the middle and I dont think he ever put a line in the middle of his ones. The pic doesnt really show it but there is a line going up on the left side to make the #4. Also, why is mine in silver ink?? I called my brother which has 3 4AM’s and there all in gold.
Hey Scott, I was sent this link from Nick and of course felt the need to quickly reply. As I am sure all of my Chili Pals know these bottles are all handcrafted by me. NO Factory line. Lots and lots of hours go into them. With that said, My only guess for the Duplicate numbers is Human Error on my part and I must have skipped a number or two..As a person who has been a devout Chilihead Since 1989 I understand your concern but the fact remains only 999 have been made. Feel Alive
Looks like that opened bottle just gained a little value, being one of three documented(?) duplicates. Scott, now all you need to do is get all three bottles together on the shelf.
No problem but why is mine in the silver ink and not gold? All the others ive seen was in gold. Thank you for responding so quickly.
I would like to see some sort of Certificate of Authenticity in future Reserve releases.
I have to say – This is the F*$kin Best site I have ever seen!!!! A bunch of chillihead lunatics like myself. I love it! I’m really not going to get any work done now. My wife said last night if I buy any more hot sauce I’m out the door.
I guess im lucky. My wife is the one that got me into collecting sauces. I used to just eat it then throw the bottle away. She said “Hey, why dont you collect them.” Ive been doing it for 10 years now. I love hot sauce!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, I have been looking for a site like this FOREVAR!!!!!!!! Found it last week and cant get enough of it. Nick—– You da man!!!!!!! Thanks for a killer site for us lunatic chilli heads.
BLAIR!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!! My #642 4am started to crack and leak. I have heard that you have fixed some 2am and 3am’s before BUT, this is a 4am. I dont know if you still have the gold resin to fix the 4am’s. I tried to fix it so it woiuld not leak anymore but it just keeps cracking and leaking. Its not a really bad leak. but kind of a seaping. Is there anyway possible you could fix this sucker for me and how much will is cost? AAAAAAA!!!! My poor 4am is crying. Gotta tell ya that it is a weird red color. I tasted it and DUDE its pretty hot.
Thanks, Scott F.
This 4am is now on ebay. 🙁 Didnt want to do it but had to.

NO PAYPAL! THen I can’t use my super-secret PAYPAL slushfund to buy it 🙂 Oh well, since Mrs Huvason reads and sometimes posts here it’s probably not a secret anyway.
Good Luck in the auctions – I will be watching!

LOL, yeah, I stopped my paypal account because they SCREWED ME once. One day I will start it again but not yet. Im still bitter. 🙂
Is it a “for sure” that Blair can do a re-wax on this bottle?
Yes Ryan, however the older the reserve the less spare resin they have. Call them first and tell them what you need fixed to make sure they can.

do you think they will have resin left for the N-59 then? 🙁
They might. Give ’em a call.

will do – will see if the insurance covers it first
I understand your apprehension. I sent one for fixing, just waiting for it to come back now, and I get nervous anytime any of these bottles are in transit.
Blair e-mailed me telling me that it CAN be rewaxed. 🙂 The 4am that is.
UUgghhh!!!! Selling this 4am is killing me!!!!!!! How many of you guys are watching it?

I’ve been watching Scott – it’s doing really well! I’ve sold some bottles on Ebay also, I know it can be tough. A few times I’ve even chickened out and pulled my auction before it was over! I just couldn’t bear to see them go 🙂
Yeah, what is really killing me is that Blair E-mailed me again today and told me where to send it to and he said he could have it looking like new again. AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
OK, here is the deal. This is an HSB offer only. I know some of you guys are watching the 4am auction. I am seriously thinking of pulling it because I really dont want to sell it. If any of you guys want it, e-mail me with an offer. If the offer is good enough ill let it go. If not, Its off to Blair for a re-wax and back in my collection.

jim @ wildpepper.com is interested Scott. Can you email me so we can chat? Thanks.
E-mail sent. 🙂
Hey Kant_touch_this. Thanks!!!!! You just made up my mind about the 4am. Im keeping it!!!!
Well shoot!! I got sensored. 🙂 I kinda knew that would happen. When I a little uummmm, angry, I get carried away.
Thats ok, I know who it is now.
I think that happens to us all, you’re human after all
