Today is the day and people will know their fate. I cant wait to see some of those cutting-room floor bottles pictured here.

Man that looks sharp! I like all the Blair’s reserves as do most I am sure though!

OK someone is teasing me with that bottle. The only 2 bottles for me better than that one are #1 of course, and #40 but #44 ohh man I could eat that one if it were not so HOT!

I would like to know what inspired him to start drizzling the wax over top the bottles like that?

I dont think you will see these on ebay!!! These are some bad ass bottles.

Very nice indeed.

If they were on ebay, they would go for a ton. What was the price at the show?

$100

A definite bargain!

Once I get out of the “I just bought a house and im broke” stage I can go back into the full on hot sauce buying again. Im almost recovered from getting the house but not quite yet. I could just taste that N-59 in my hands but just could not get it.

Maybe the cutting room floor contest will bring me good news. Did I mention that Blair is the man!!!!! Ok, im done sucking up now.

Hey Scott, whatever it takes:). Good luck!

The N-59 is truly amazing! I think it’s by far the coolest bottle I’ve seen to date. It blows away the holiday and the B-99 in my book. Even though I have love for those as well, of course!

Im on my way to Tijuana Flats for some Burritos.

Good morning everyone! Not for nothing I like the N59 but any news about the Cutting room floor? It was an agonizing night.

Scott- if it makes you feel any better, I’m also in the “I just bought a house and I’m broke” stage. It’s not much fun yet, and it definately put a damper on my hot sauce collecting. If not for this house, I surely would have been in NM in line for a N-59.

I wonder if they are locked behind closed doors as we speak?
We should have sent someone over (to be a reporter) to let us know of any new developments as they happen.

I know but I’m not telling.

No news on extremefood.com. MSK, How the hell are ya?

I got into it with my wife over hot sauce at the show. I told her Look I sold my bike for our wedding now the only thing I do is hot sauce and have a few beers. Too bad. Serriously I completly blew the bank on NM. I’m in the same boat lads

I collect all my change on a daily basis and put it into a big jar, every 2 or 3 months I cash it in and put into my “Hot Sauce” Checking Account. This allows me to save money for the trip and gives me hot sauce money without flipping the wife out to bad. This year however, I spent to much and got out the old credit card which my wifey has since confiscated. Whats a Hot Sauce Collector to do??? Guesse I’ll have to start walking the streets for cans.

And you guys thought last night was agonizing…Today is the worst part of it all. Its like waiting for the bomb to drop. You’re either going to survive the blast and come out king of the mountian, or be laid to waste by the blast of disapointment…Have a nice day all

With only 59 produced and all selling at the show, we should see a healthy response to this thread.

Morning Reilly….In my humble opinion, there’s only one way to relieve the pressure of money within a marriage. If both of you work, each handles their own money/account. Spiltting the bills proportionately is a must. If a bill zeros out on either side…readjust. The rest is yours to spend as you see fit. Works beautifully for us.

Many a spouse are gunning for me now

This has worked for us as well, split the bills 50/50, split extra expenditures ie…X-Mas and B-days 50/50, and the rest gets split 50/50, 1/2 to a savings account and the other half split between us for ourselves. Money does not have to be a arguable factor in a marriage if you budget well and plan accordingly.

you sweating over there ryan?

since you are 3 hours behind, maybe we (east coast) should withold the “winning” news from you (west coast) until 3 hours after its announced…lol

I need some advice please, it is kind of time sensitive.
Has anyone heard of the following Hot Sauces:
Capital Punishment
Last Rights
King Tut & a Queen Neffertity
those 4 sauces I have the opportunity to pick up.
Are they a good addition to a collector bottle set of sauces? Old rare discontinued?
etc I have never heard of any of them.

Thanks for any and all help

Damn I hate using this computer it uses my old user name.

pmac, I have heard of Capital Punishment and Last Rights.
thats all I can really offer though without doing some research.

Beautiful reserve.

Sniff.

Yeah I would research it but I am here at work and I am being ribbed too much about the purchase I am making today. Co-Workers do not understand our journey

Looks good. You can see the white in the purple better in these pics

I’ve heard of the Capital Punishment and Last Rights as well. I actually think i have a bottle somewhere. I don’t think they make it anymore. I’ll check at home tonight

Then clear your cookies in your browser - should get rid of the info (PLUS ALL OTHERS…. just to let you know). You can also try and locate the cookie manually and delete it.

Capital Punishment is available at a few stores, but often comes up out of stock.

huvason yeah thanks for the info i appreciate it, but i just kept forgetting to change the name in the NAME field just my dumnumness

Capital Punishment came out of Lancaster, PA (year unknown, 2001?) under the company name of “Fire Me”. I have no idea if they actually manufactured the sauce, had it co-packed or was just the distributer. None the less, Cheffy is correct, it’s still available in some stores but “Out of Stock” is common.

With many sauces having sub-levels of production and/or collaboration between companies, I find it mind numbing to even think about tracing it out.

Nick, I have N59 #19

WE JUST TOOK A BREAK FROM JUDGING….We have 371 Real entries on over 2500 pieces of paper.(We are not viewing from the small samples online)……It is hearing 6 people fight over who should win 5 spots, It is now down to 17 Chiliheads and I think all are WINNERS (I mean 371) …..Oh Man , anyway I wanted to drop a quick note to break my thoughts………….Feel Alive Blair

I wonder if we will ever know who the 17 were. I am not sure if I would want to. You know, so close but yet so far….:-)

I’m so nervous now. wow this is mind wrecking

I don’t really think anyone would want to know they were in 17th place/
what could you do? I would hang myself

Thats what I meant Henry. At least you would know you made it that far, or do you? I know, this isnt a beauty pagent

Maybe Blair will suprise those (not the top 5)by giving them something special. You never know.

At least you know they are actually taking the time to read and scrutinize them, they could have just throw the names in a hat.

You OK MAD???

Blair, when you get done and see this, thanks for the update. Don’t strain your eyes too much, we need you to be able to see what you’re doing

Kind of flippin out. Who ever gets picked, hats off to you! It’s some achievement. And just to throw in a plug, besides myslef :), I hope eman is up there in the pack. He has some collection!

I can’t even be my cynical self with this thread, I have empathy, EMPATHY I TELL YOU! ‘Tis unlike Myself to shed emotion, I need a beer.

Otherwise I think I’m going to jump out a window. My wife just called me to give me an update about her Dr. appiontment today (#2 on the way - they call it Irish twins). I just saw the post and I told her I have to call her back when she was in mid sentence. This suppense is killing me. This is worse than the Holiday/B-99 fiasco

LOL @ Reilly! Take two shots of Crown and a nap and in a few hours it’ll all be over….LOL

Creator, I second that. I think I going to cut out of here early and hit the local

Jamisons my brother! MSK I’ll tell you this if I understood it right, the lucky few are getting a few bottles (am I crazy or did I read it right?) Well if I’m one of the lucky ones, you got a bottle.

Does anyone know where the winners will be posted first? I’m dying here!!

Reilly……you got a bottle

Bottle of what…LOL

Remember MAD. The contest had 2 parts to it. It wasnt just based on what you owned.

Imagine if you checked your e-mail and there was a letter from Blair?
And after your shaking hand managed to click the mouse, it said you didnt make the cut but thanks for entering.

I just want to say that whoever the winners are, they will be very well deserving, some of the collections pictured are simply amazing. You can tell by the countless posts on the subject that we all share a passion for what we do. I think the Blair’s bunch will do us justice and however it falls and after the dust settles the majority will be satisfied (some a little more then others) in how it all played out. It’s going to be something we all remember for a very long time, I am just glad to be apart of it.

OK Chris…You may have just managed to push Reilly off the ledge of his 2nd story window!

I’m shot I’m hitting the bar. MSK I’ll tell you what, 2 bottles - 1 hot sauce 1 Jamisons

And MSK I’m on the 36 floor. One big splat

You guys are hillarious LOL!
It’s like watching/listening to my Little Hot sauce hotties Kids at Christmas I think it is great PLEASE do not misinterperet my letter here. It is good to see something that gets full grown adults all excited and hoping in anticipation.
I don’t stand a chance in hell. So I am not so excited. The biggest problem is even if i get an offer to buy, I probably cannot afford it. I had my pics and e-mail sent to Blair’s about 20 minutes after it arrived in my inbox. But I bet there were 100 others even faster than that!

Good luck to each and every one of you that entered, I really wish the best to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAD, dont do it!
eman already went down the other night with the old label beyond death bottle dangled in front of him…lol

I can’t take it anymore. The people in the office think i completly gone to hell. I submit - I’m on the beer! I got to turn off this thing before I go completly bonkers. My boss came over and was wondering “what the hell am I tapping so feaverishly for - I can’t possibly be work related”. When I told him I was on the HSB rying to find out about this contest. He shook his head and said “Reilly, you need professional help” So with that siad, I’m taking his advice and seeing the local professional (barman that is). My nerves are shot! If it’s not too late of a one I’ll be on later for the update Reilly Out

The Judges Have Spoken -Then Blair Really Spoke—It got Ugly–But We have our Winners—Will Announce Tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
From Blair’s site.

OK Now I am getting excited. I won’t win but I am excited to see who won. I have (as does everyone) my favourites and I have also opinions on who should win but they are meaningless
I want to know who to say congrats to!!!!!!!!!
(could not spell congradulate with confidence LOL so i just said congrats

This should be interesting to say the least…

good eye pmac.
Ill bet MAD is pacing (wherever he is) right about now!

Guess well will all be glued to the HSB tonight.

Did anyone write an acceptance speech yet?

To bad Blair didnt decide to something over the top (he already has, yes) but I meant like appear on Letterman or something to announce the winners. I wonder if we will see a “special breaking news bulletin” on the top TV stations tonight?…just trying to help ease all those pounding hearts with laughter.

OK, I’m either blind or stupid, I didn’t see anything on Blair’s site. Got a link?

hey guys, just catching up…brain is not functioning today as we all know what is to come

eman read your email I just sent you a very serious question!!!!!

Pmac…Did you propose?

LOL!
He might after reading it I dunno. But I am pretty sure he will be excited about it!

From extremefood:

“All my best to Every Single Chilihead who sent in their collection. You Guys and Gals are Amazing -7pm Est for u”

I feel like somebody has “the boys” in a vice right now and is s l o w l y turning the crank!!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woot! 30 minutes

Give me a sec pmac, am typing as fast as i can

Wow!!! This is really exciting!!!!

I have that stupid toon from final jeopardy playing in my head……..my wife is sitting here laughing at me

I still don’t see anything on extremefood.com, where on the site are these updates?

DK look under the sauces then the collector series then read the 3am caption

DK look at the main page where the description for the 3am should be

Got it, thanks pmac. I thought it must have been something like that, I looked at everything but the 3 AM

This is going to be a LONG fifteen minutes my friends. I haven’t been this excited about anything since the science fair judging in the 8th grade:) I don’t know how good my chances are - but I MUST KNOW!!

Ok, I am putting on the helmet now!

The Winners Range from a Cop who got his Force to use a stronger Pepper Spray because of 3 am Reserve to a Great man who got through Chemo because Death Sauce Made his Food taste good enough to keep down. Feel Alive to all of you Blair

Im all pumped up listening to some old METAL!!!!!!!!

Sweet, I read his entry and that was crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAM! im not a cop or have experienced cancer(nor do i ever want to)….only 8 more chances
(can you hear my teeth chattering?)

OOPS my bad guess I missed that post.

congratulations eman and the other nine - I’m going away to cry now!!!!!

Blair’s email is in!!

All 10 have gone so not even a chance to buy!!

pmac - did you see the results

Hey guys, just want to say congrats to all the winners. I read all of the entries on Blair’s site and they were all awesome collections and stories. Eman, Way to go bro! Not sure who all the other winners are (difference between screen names and real names) but congrats to you guys too. I’ll keep you posted when I get my set, what numbers and pics.

Ryan, bet you still don’t get a gold skull

I bet we get some good pictures too. I know if I won I would take so many pictures showing everyone I knew. It’ll be interesting to see just what ol Blair was cooking up back in the day! That was a good idea of his to keep this stuff around and give it all out. Props

I thought this was the N-59 thread….not the Cutting Room Floor thread. LOL.

N-59 #43

I am bummed…I saw Blair at the show, when he made it over to the Hot Shots booth…not sure if he was there to see John, from CaJohn’s…or was over just to say hi to the guys there…either way I didn’t get a chance to say hi to him…so..HI BLAIR!…I was busy helping my friends in the Brimstone Originals booth, nextdoor….

I did, however get an opportunity to snag N-59 #13

BTW, Paul #2…I have Last Rites and Capital Punishment in my collection…we used to sell both in the hot sauce shop I helped run

Oh…and I did see a B-99 on ebay two days ago…the auction is probably ending today…it was at $275 when I saw it.

Proud owner of N-59 bottle #29

OUCH!

There are a lot of new items up for grabs on eBay right now. (yeah a few are mine, I have an opportunity for a rare item so I need to unload a couple less valuable/rare things to aquire it.

huvason on 3/16/2006 at 9:35 am said:

OUCH!

Double that

Hey pmac - which are yours? I’m in a buying mood - since my wife is already mad at me. Wait until she finds out that I NEED TWO DEFCON ZERO Batch #2’s

I finally read through all this thread (this was all going on while I was at work). Eman
