Just a few close ups of some of the vintage labels.



These vintage sets have to be some of the coolest labels I’ve ever seen! Blair put in a ton of work to “resurrect” these labels and the effort can now be seen by all the chileheads out there in the world. Man these are sweet looking bottles. Oh, and each set contains a signed Sweet Death from Blair as well (not a vintage label). Just a gift from one of the world’s biggest chileheads.
Thank You Blair for all the effort and love that went into producing fine collectors items.

Very cool.
It’s weird that there is a “vintage” Jersey Death Sauce label. Jersey Death came out last year. Maybe that was an original design for it? Also, there are 6 bottles not 5!

I guess I should actually read the post Nick typed:
“Oh, and each set contains a signed Sweet Death from Blair as well (not a vintage label). Just a gift from one of the world’s biggest chileheads.
”
OH YEAH.. THANK YOU BLAIR
These look awesome. Now just to sit and wait for the parcelforce man! I haven’t got a sweet death so that will fit in nicely
Thanks Blair!
The waiting game is always the worst part, I hope to get ours soon. We also ordered some other stuff with it- should be a nice big box!!
i got the gardners 1/99 i almost wet myself when i saw it! i got my shipment yesterday so you should all be getting yours soon

Nice MikeG, that is a number that still to this day eludes me.
Keeper for life!!! ![]()
Yeah me too. I haven’t scooped up a 1/whatever yet.
The lowest number I have of anything is a 7/999 Le Million (which I paid $49 for….lol). ![]()
VERY COOL. It makes me look at our labels and wonder if one day we’ll ever release them as ‘vintage’ labels. lol.
yea thats my first number one of anything, for me personally im not interested as much in the number, i just like having one. The closest i had b4 this was my #32 caldera. What i like about how this set came was each bottle had different numbers. so one person wouldnt have all the #1’s 2’s etc
Yeah MikeG, there are gonna be 50 happy people, because single digit and 99 are the ones most desire to some extent. And seeing as there are 45 single digit and 5 99’s
half approximately will get something that much more special.

Correction….and my appologies.
There WILL be 99 very VERY happy people.
Just that some will have that extra jolt to see something like that in their collection! ![]()

I just had our label designer guy leave with the new labels for our grocery store. Anyone wants our old labels, there’re only a few left and selling them off would keep Michael from having to wash the bottles.

I know how you feel. I’ve had to miss out on quite a few things lately, including the ‘93 Death. Good things come to those who wait my friend.

Without a doubt- keep the faith and your eyes peeled, the next big release is just around the corner- they have been coming at us pretty quick lately. ![]()
Bad thing was, I was in, had to cancel at the very last minute. ‘Puter went down, been using a loaner. Got the new one going today though, man this thing is fast! Compared to my old dinosaur I was using anyway.
Thanks guys, I’ll get the next one(s). But man those bottles are cool! I’ve been staying away from the blog today just to keep from seeing them! Caught a glimpse of them this morning just before leaving to work, been down all day. I thought I felt bad when I called to cancel the order, but seeing them in the pics is just …..
Maybe I can just print the pics and put them on the shelf? The one that got away!

I’d just like to say that even though a bunch of eBay auctions are now linking to the HSB - that is not an endorsement from the HSB to those auctions, they are just linking on their own - pmac started it and a bunch of folks are jumping on the bandwagon. I’m fine with the link as it directs folks that may not otherwise find the HSB here, but please don’t think that because an auction links to the HSB that we vouch for the auction or endorse it.
Good point Nick, That’s amazing- some of us have not received ours yet and some folks are selling theirs off already. No time to sleep around here, better be fast or you’ll be last.

Yeah but thats crazy. No one in their right nond would jump on on that auction, people wanna have a chance for a good price, it should start low and if anything have a reserve, that way there is a second chance offer possibility :). (just tips for the one listing it) because there most likely will be several if not more up for sale, just like b99 n59, they are just as “rare” so to speak, and others will be offering up a couple bottles for those that dont wanna drop too much money and still share the collection.
P.S. I must say though to the person listing, good luck all the power to you. I hope it sells for you, especially based on the reason, sounds like you wanna go to the zest fest maybe ![]()

Did it give you that extra special feeling i was talking about?! :):):)

As they have an item of mine and they will be shipping it out with the bottles to save on shipping.
It’s killing me!!!

will do when i get home from work! however i think my numbers are EXACTLY the same as above except for on different bottles, i could be delerious, but those numbers look so familiar. …. or it could have just been a long week
Don’t hate me folks but I have a new member to my number 1 club. It looks like for the most part that the numbers are spaced out 11 apart. Thakswet seems to be the only exception so far.

we can all hope…….until it’s found, you have just as much chance as anyone else
Just wondering, I know this is off topic but does anyone know much about the Blair’s japanese sauces i.e. I know he isn’t allowed to sell them in the US but can he sell them, to say, the UK? ![]()

I would thing if you e-mailed him and requested a signed set he would probably be able to accomodate you.
It is not for consumption so would be sold as a collector thing.
I would call Karin and ask her to hook you up ![]()

MattUK:
Blair has requested (he is looking for you to see if there are any in house) that you e-mail Karin on Monday for them to follow up on this item for you.
Mark it urgent, it most likely will take several days for them to get back to you.
the email is karin at extremefood dot com

Hello All, I wanted to say that since 1989 I have produced many “Unique” “Reserve Type” Bottles but never before have I received so many messages from my Fellow Chiliheads of their Joy and Pleasure with the Vintage Collections. To you I Simply want to say THANK YOU for making what I do so Amazing. Hours and Hours of time Plus 17 years of history went into the sets and it is with my greatest pleasure I have a Chance to share them with you…..Feel Alive Your ChiliPal Blair
I will be on the Blog for the next hour and will answer any questions I can
…aaaa..vintage sets?….you mean we were not susposed to open them?
Blair, you’re awesome by all means!!!

Feel Free… open um up and Enjoy
What do you say to the people who claim only a 15Mil top can be reached?
(only being a foxnews type here..)
I do have a question!!!!!
What is significance of the planet and the star in the skulls eye and do you have a name for him? like Guedo or something ![]()

…it was a joke, i still have them sitting here in front of me and don’t want to put them into “THE CABINET” yet. Still admiring them.
The New Reserve Coming in June and open for orders this month will be the last Reserve In my Current Bottle (Not Including 2am and 3am) The amount will be from 300 to 500 Bottles. All Future Reserves Including Halloween 2006 will be in a New Bottle. I am currently working on a custom Glass Mold for ALL Reserves in the Future

Thats the bomb Blair, read my email i sent you a few days ago ![]()
The Planet and Stars is Just more about “Feel Alive” I NEVER wanted to Skull to look very Evil
I had to twist all the shrink wraps slightly to the side so i could see the whole lable and the skull was not blocking them.
when’s the OCC bike coming?
My 16 Million Reserve is Exactly That. 16 Million . I am not aware of 15 mill?
Can I get a personal interview at your manufacturing plant anytime?
Would Love an OCC Bike….Gotta work on it….I think it would be a great show. Maybe we could bring in some Bloggers for input….I will try to Reach out to them this coming week

When are you going to get some t-shirts in?? I have ordered twice and both times they have been out. I want to be sporting some Blair ware
So how did you get the ” Feel Alive” slogan but your trademark is a skull. Personaly i think they work fine together.
Will See what we can do Thakswet
can you give us an idea of how many bottles you sell per week?
also, can you call FoodNetwork and get a show anytime you want?
Hey MrFreeze, You are correct T-shirts have been out. I am not a pro at the clothing Biz. Everytime Shirts are produced our Stores order um up and we need more












Wow, those are awesome! I can’t wait to get mine!
