Bottle Description: For the times when it’s just not hot enough! Have you ever been to a restaurant and the hot sauce is wimpy? You have the answer.
Ingredients: none listed
Container: There’s been some flack given to Captain Thom’s but I love the container. I think it’s cool/stealth. The threading on the inside prevents the powder from going anywhere when you open it. For those that believe otherwise remember that Blair’s 16 Million Reserve is threaded the same way PLUS Captain Thom added a red rubber stopper. That powder is not going anywhere till I tell it to.
Appearance: Red and brown salt sized granules.
Smell: Nice spice! Warm habanero aroma. Someone make a candle out of this stuff. Sell it as aromatherapy.
Consistency: Spice, avalanche effect very possible. You want to tap the powder on your food not pour.
Taste: Salty, then you get to the dry habanero flavor. Tastes like Habanero Death Rain but a little saltier and a little less garlic.
Heat: 7.6/10 on dry food. A wet dish will render this stuff almost heatless. So pouring into your French onion soup is not recommended. Actually getting French onion soup is usually not recommended (I don’t like it).
Field Test: Dun dun dun dun dun! (That’s the mission impossible theme). I love this Habanero Keychain thing. I would love to bring a bottle of hot sauce everywhere I go but it’s just not convenient. I don’t want any of my sauces to end up spoiling on me. And this dry, to-go, compact powder is what I’ve needed. Plus it may be annoying or even embarrassing to company present to pull a Dave’s out my pocket. Captain Thom’s Survival Kits is pretty stealth and no one can pooh-pooh the social taboo of flaming your head at every meal.
Final Word: You can be the James Bond of the spice word with the Habanero Survival Kit. It’s just so damn useful. So Captain Thom if you’re reading this please make a Rolex watch (fake Rolex!) that sprays this stuff discreetly.
Overall: 9.8/10. Yes higher than Death Rain because I love the container. Buy some and put it in your glove box.

Captain Thom has some down right delicious hot sauces as well!
Im ready, even thought I just really want the container haha.
This containter does seem down right handy! It nevers hurts to be able to spice it up wherever you go!!
I have had my Red Savina Survival Kit on my key ring for a few weeks now. So far no misshaps and it has come in very handy on quite a few occasions. I have used this powder in a chili dish and a couple nice dashes did add a noticable kick!
I’d hate to be my buddy who played the last joke on me, with this in my pocket at the bar, better watch out!!!!!
I’ve got to get one of these for going out on wednesday night with my football team. It’d be funny for playing jokes and it’s a bit smaller than a Blair’s bottle to carry around
it looks jam packed full too
My jalapeno one has survived the rigors of several weekn on my keychain in great shape. I’ve even dropped in a couple times, and no distress to the container.
Now I just have to finish off the jalapeno powder so I can pack it with something hotter.

Since when has that ever stopped us? Torchbearer at Clam Jumpers, El Yucateco at Red Robin, Dave’s at Dick’s Last Resort and more to numerous to count. We have no shame!

i say pull it out of your pocket and use it, why limit yourself to ordinary food in public when you can be discreet about using what you like? just ask her to get you a napkin or a fork and pour it on while she’s gone, no harm no foul then right?

Great review Clint. Still haven’t bought this yet! Was placing my order with Nick two weeks ago, but he was out of something else I wanted (THT stuff). It think he has everything -so time to order!
