Here it is chileheads, the Encore you’ve all been waiting for! Blair has gone above and beyond all expections and produced an extra special reserve for FREE. That’s right, free. Each order for a Firecracker 500 will recieve a free Encore Reserve. That’s per order/person - for instance if you ordered 5 Firecrackers, you’ll get 1 Encore. It’s not per Firecracker 500 ordered, it’s per order.

Blair’s Encore Reserve
- Here are the facts:
- These bottles have been given free to each order of Firecracker 500 (from Blair). However, since only 500 Firecrackers were made available, it’s safe to say that less then 500 Encore Reserves exist.
- These are not numbered, but they are signed.
- These are not for resale.
- These are offically the last of the last of his reserve bottles.
- Inside chileheads will find a dried habanero powder.
- 30 of these special reserves are completely different. These bad boys are topped with purple wax with a yellow drizzle across the top.
- The 30 Special Encore Reserves are numbered 1-30.

That is one kick*** set of bottles…. Thanks again Blair …….
Sweetness, a whole nother reserve. Blair has taken it to the HNL (hole nother level).
Awesomeness. Thanks blair.
And what exactly will happen when one does show up on ebay???
Like free stuff hasnt been sold there before. They are not numbered so how would Blair know who was selling it?
Im not getting one anyway, so its just a question!
Well blow me timbers….
Blair even made a distinct label for the encore reserve.
Thats wicked!! Once again Blair delivers - thanks man
On another note, are the Encore Reserves numbered? Be interesting to see just how many there actually are…
Hello All, I am very happy to see these very special bottles Starting to find ChiliHead Homes around the Globe…..As far as comments on selling the “Encore” If you sell it …What would happen???…Nothing, but I made these bottles free of charge as a gift to my Chilipals so I would be surprised if they are sold….Not to mention the whole Karma of it…….Enjoy the Bottles my Friends …..All my Best…FEEL ALIVE….Have a Happy 4th ….. Your Chilipal BLAIR

I guess it would kinda be like re-gifting- yeah it’s done by cheap few, but it’s really in bad taste. And if the Original Gifter finds out……pretty embarassing. ![]()

Yep agree with that - dont care if they are or aren’t numbered, just curious, that be all…. you know what they say about curiosity and the cat I guess though ![]()

Cant imagine that anyone wouldn’t enjoy what Blair has done there, except perhaps those folk that buy purely to sell for a profit, but who cares about them anyway ![]()
I’d bid on one.
Beautiful!! I love it.
One question though: How can you legally prevent someone from selling something on eBay?
Of course, I won’t be selling mine, but still…..the question still stands.
no. Unless you had a contract.
Another thought: I think he means *VENDORS* can’t sell these. The aftermarket should be fair game. There’s really no way to prevent trades or eBay sales. It’s just that they can’t be marketed, sold, etc through stores.

Can’t say I wouldn’t… thankfully, (hopefully) I won’t have to though ![]()

It’s simple. He ask of you not to resale…………;…..
Ok, fair enough. That’s just not *exactly* what it said on the front page….it said “no selling these puppies on eBay”. That sounds like an order, not a suggestion.
Just curious.
True about the karma. If you sell the freebie in your next life you’ll have a stomach problem and will not be able to eat even Tabasco. Beware karma is a bitch.
I think the gift is fantastic and here is one that will be staying with its rightful place at the end of the Blair Collectible Shelf.
Why anyone that collects would want to sell a gift, since there is only going to be a few (one per customer). Not a true collector in my view.(only my feelings) The people who bought more than one you still will
make their profit on resales.(of FC 500)

Once again the “Master” Blair has outdone himself. I agree with the whole Karma aspect of those that would try to sell such an honorable gift. I for one would like to say thank-you to Blair for such an un-expected treasure. I know it will look great on the shelf!!!!

There are ways to make sure you don’t resell it. I mean Blair has the names of everyone that ordered the f500 and received the encore. Someone sells and the next time a reseve is out and suddenly you just missed out or your order is lost or you just get banned……There are ways many ways. Besides why would you sell anyhow ??? There is only one encore per order, so if someone ordered say 10 that is only one encore going out so who knows how many there will be out there only one man at the moment and that is Blair…
This is very, very nice. Thanks Blair. You are amazing in my book.

Holy Encore Batman! Just saw and read all this…Frick’n AWESOME YO! After the day I’ve been having, guess this would be Karma paying me back
It’s gonna be Christmas in July thanks to Blair (I won’t tell Santa that you’ve outdone and outclassed him) ![]()
BTW Blair, love the graphics on the labels…my hat’s off to your artist.
Hey Ryan, you made the 2000 club! Congrats

Exactly!!
Such a simple gesture is hard for some people to respect.
That’s the best news I’ve heard all day, and I only had to work a half-day
Like everyone else has said, thanks Blair. You’re the man. Can’t wait to get mine!
Yeah - those graphics are good, but I know someone better ![]()
I don’t want to know the handshake for the over 2000 post club :shocked:

You can’t. He just doesn’t want a gift to be resold. there are ALLOT of resellers out there that will sell, or people selling their collections because they loose interest in the hobby. The point I think more so was, they were not for resale, in other words, he isn’t selling them, and Jungle jims for example was not selling them. That if for example (I use JJ because i don’t know others) Jungle jim ordered 10 bottles for sake of arguement, he i think will get one, as it states there was one bottle per order not 1:1 ratio of these. Jungle Jims would not be inclined to sell it as they are good friends/business relationship. You know.
Just so all are clear, I started to write this an hour ago when the thread was small and just got free’d up at work to finish it
so my point is probably beaten to death by the time I hit say it LOL. Have A FRICKING SUPER FANTASTIC WEEKEND EVERYONE IT IS MY HOTTIES BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKEND SO WE WILL BE OUT AND NOT ONLINE MUCH ![]()
CHEERS, PEACE AND BE SAFE!!!!!!!!
