Blair’s Firecracker 500 Reserve: White Base
Blair’s Firecracker 500: White Base (only 24 exist!)
So the first sighting has occured, one lucky chilehead was kind enough to let me put my grubby paws on their White Firecracker 500 for the sake of the HSB bloggers. Isn’t it beautiful?
Blair’s Firecracker 500s: Red, White & Blue
There you have it folks, a trio of collectible reserves.

Wow that is simply beautiful seeing them all together like that! A very nice set of reserves indeed
Cool, what number is it???
My guess is between 1 and 24

Thats what I was thinking.
Bret you really think so? Personally I would have thunk, he would have numbered them randomly from 1-500 taking the need to have a low number away. Welp I guess time will tell (unless you have the inside scoop there Bret 🙂 ?!
Remember the quote “No two bottles are the same” … I think we can see why this is now! He has 3 different base colors and at LEAST 3 different INK colors, so collecting multiple bottles wont just be about numbers but ink base wax and number now 🙂
Well, that is assuming you are a mental case like myself
Nick care to enlighten us with the possibility of Brets comment (without revealing the number? Does that one happen to be within the 1-24 range or over it?
No – the white reserves are not 1-24, the one pictured is #293
K Bret cough it up…
I win…
WHAT you mean there was no contest!?!
grumble, robbed again. 🙁
Well now that Blair has done an all AMERICAN bottle true to the fact it is USA the product comes from, I wounder if he will ever do Italian or other country colors close to his heart? I guess time will tell.
Like maybe a world cup XX depending on how many world cups there have been 😀 (OK Silly but I would buy one, heck I bought an Italian Jersey for someone i know as a gift) OHH, did you see that as i re-read that?! Italien Jersey…And Blair is from Jersey and has a little Italian in him….hmm i do detect some foreshadowing there. Hmm maybe that feeling is just gas. Ohh well.
Now I want one even more.
Absolutely gorgeous. Rarity aside, that’s my favorite color combo. Wow.
We ought to keep track of what numbers are white as they surface. Just a thought……
Now that we know there wasn’t any other low numbers out there in between 1–500 (238+238+24=500) I really could not see it happening other than the way pmac mentioned. Since it had to add up to 500 how could there have been a 1-24 within the 500 without it becoming 524.
That said I have a Blue and Red Base and I’ll wait for a White to take its place on top of the shelf. (The finale of an era.)

The 1-24 i think he meant the first 24 bottles would have all been the white ones. Therefore have been numbered 1/500 2/500…etc

There is a thread for White FC and Special Reserve Holders.
It’s in the HSB Forum.

I remember ALLOT of people were saying the same sort of thing when the B99 came out. It does look nice classic conservative with a bit of flair, just like the B99 🙂
[Comment ID #45075 Quote]
That would have been cool. Had you all thinking white base 1 thru 24.
What about feel alive on some.?
[Comment ID #45080 Quote]
I like my 2am that says Feel Alive. 🙂
[Comment ID #45080 Quote]
I am sure that will make a difference too to keep them all different. I personally don’t put too much stock on that. I think too many people consider that rare. But its his slogan and lots of bottles have it (I would be willing to bet more than 24 or 30 🙂 )
[Comment ID #45081 Quote]
I think that add something Like karma

You never know pmac. I think it’s less then you think.

I’m here – stuck in the gym

AAAAAA!!!!! I would love to have a single digit 2am. I got #278 2am but now I want to go lower. I got the 2am that says “Feel Alive” on the side about 3 months ago. Got it for 40 bucks. Its not numbered but it does say feel alive. Kinda cool. Never saw a 2am with that on it untill I saw the one I got. Thats why I grabbed it.
OK…Here are some other facts…..Only 30 bottles in total have FEEL ALIVE on the side…..Random–In order, Color, Etc…..6 and Only Six Bottles out of 500 Are Filled with A Quadruple Layer of 12.3 Million Capsaicin. (You can clearly see the Difference)..4 of 500 Bottles ????…..More Facts to Follow….PS..Wait till you see the Encore with Numbers……..FEEL ALIVE BLAIR
[Comment ID #45094 Quote]
Now you’re teasing us blair 🙂
This is horrible, nice way to torture me blair. 🙂
Is there a white base with a quadruple layer?
[Comment ID #45094 Quote]
Keep it comeing Brother
[Comment ID #45089 Quote]
huv when you get forty diffrent sauces you know there room in my store for you . Ok
Still no package on my doorstep- that’s gotta be good news 🙂
[Comment ID #45102 Quote]
Bret- Haggis just pledged a grand to the stair stepping ($500 now & $500 if/when successful). We need to chat again about his sauces. I’ll try to call on Tuesday.
That has to be one of the mintest bottles out there……still waiting to recieve mine 🙁
Anyone else notice that Blair’s comment was #30?
[Comment ID #45084 Quote]
[Comment ID #45094 Quote]
I win again it is 30 🙂
“4 of 500 Bottles ????…..More Facts to Follow” With gold skulls, that is my guess 🙂
or maybe the encores have gold skulls 🙂
Ooh, that’s a good idea! I wouldn’t have thought of that. 🙂
Or have double skulls. One on each side.

sorry pmac after over looking your would be victory. We notice a error in your guess. You said more then 24 or 30. To much margin. Check the rule Book. It’s under Guessing. LOL pmac what’s buddy. Your were right right there.
[Comment ID #45166 Quote]
whoa there a up missing and to many right. Need coffee.
Too much fun last night.
[Comment ID #45080 Quote]
I actually got one. Red base #145.
[Comment ID #45168 Quote]
LOL Coffe and a donut and you’ll be fine 🙂
I think it’s a bit like christmas……I come home from work everyday hoping that a parcel would have arrived but there’s none……I don’t mind though it just makes it more fun for when I do open it…………….I just hope customs don’t have a field day
how about a wax combo like the N-59? i.e. with a swirl in it of different coloured wax…….that’s possible and would make them very different
Just got blue base #189. No special encore.
Yeah, I got my second order today red base # 153 and blue base #162. Anybody got a white base up for trade or sale???? Let me know if you do. Only 1 encore per person not per order as I had two orders on different credit cards. That is nice Blair, I like the way you did that only one per person makes it even more of a collectable….
Got my order today (wife says) but I’m stuck at the firehouse 🙁 Can’t bother her to open it- just have to wait until I get done with stairs tomorrow. Headed to bed with visions of firecrackers dancing in my head 😛
Nick check your e-mail………………….
Red base #130 and a normal encore have made it home. Very happy, thanks Blair!
Any more white bases surfaced yet?
People…..someone HAS to have gotten a white base by now. At least we know they’re all numbered around 300 or so.
Anyone else care to check in?
I just bought #293 (the one pictured in this thread).
[Comment ID #45766 Quote]
yeah, I have #300 white base………………
did you get that with your shipment, or did you buy it aftermarket?
White Base #28 with Encore that is a yellow like but a little lighter than
that is on the 3AM
[Comment ID #45923 Quote]
Cool!!!!!! How early did ya get your order in? So far that is the lowest number and lowest number white base.
Sounds like a low number white base, and a regular encore! 🙂 Congrats!
Check the forum and the color of that Encore. Interesting I must say.
It doesn’t look that different to me (if you’re referring to the yellow color in the picture where there’s 3 regular encores and a red, white, and blue underneath them).
Yeah, its more like the color on the 3am’s than a bright yellow color.
That’s so subtle that I seriously doubt if it was intentional.
