Pair of Encore Reserves
- The Encore Reserveshave 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. - The regular Encores (on the right in the image above) 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.
Wax shot
Complete Firecracker Set
- (1) Red Base Firecracker (only 238 made)
- (1) White Base Firecracker (only 24 made)
- (1) Blue Base Firecracker (only 238 made)
- (1) Special Encore Reserve (only 30 made)
- (1) Regular Encore Reserve (less then 470 made)
If anyone gets one of the special ‘4’ please send in a picture, so we can add it to the list.

Oh know, not another pic of…
at least its not food, that makes me hungry first thing in the morning 🙄
Nice set Nick.
Time to get up everybody the days almost over. Has the UPS Person been to your house yet. Everybody put your hands together and sing along. Sorry wrong blog site. WOW
2 pots of coffee already. Hey Jim race you up the stairs.LOL
As with any bottle I see for the first time..Thats the sweetest looking bottle I have ever seen !!! 🙂
But seriously, Looks very nice as do they all! I wonder with the color combinations that Blair comes up with that work, if I see interior decorating in his future if the hot sace thing doesnt work ut 🙂
Very nice where do I get one(LOL). Blair as always great job…….
Wow those are awesome! I like how Blair turned the Firecracker reserve into a whole set by itself. Nick’s picture of the different combinations is nicer than my whole collection 🙂
Man I would not mind having one of those! Anyone know how it was determined who got the whites and the special Encores? Just curious really.
[Comment ID #45380 Quote]
Blair commented here on the blog at one point that the whites were partially predetermined and some at random. The Special encores I imagine were also somewhat similar. I think that is the order if i remember correctly
It looks like it’s filled with something completely different. What’s in there? Look how much the color of the powder differs.
paprika! 🙂
…j/k i have no clue 🙂
[Comment ID #45382 Quote]Hey Ryan, your in Texas right? I’m in Arlington and I was wondering if you’ve received your Firecracker500 yet?? I haven’t, just checking. Thanks..
No I haven’t received it yet. I called Karin and got a UPS tracking number, and it says it’s scheduled to be delivered later this week.
[Comment ID #45382 Quote]
Death rain nitro maybe?
That’s what I was thinking. Maybe Blair will confirm with comment #30. 😉
[Comment ID #45377 Quote]
I have to agree with you there (not about your collection as I’m sure that’s awesome 😀 ) All the possible colour combos and time’s available is really makin this go out with a bang. It’s gona be soo hard to get one of each if that’s what people are after
Oh and Blair, we’re still waiting for the rest of the run-down about the “special” bottles out there.
So far we know there are:
– 30 Special Encores (#’d)
– 24 White Bases
– 30 with “Feel Alive” on the side
– 4 ???
– 6 with a quadruple layer of 12.3 million Scoville (which you can clearly see from the outside of the bottle)
–
….what else?? 🙂
I just received my (5) Firecracker 500, (3) blue and (2) red. On one of the blue reserves Blair wrote “Feel Alive.” It is not on any of my other reserves, has anyone else seen this?
Blair certainly is pulling out all the stops on this reserve.
[Comment ID #45399 Quote]
He had a post that stated that 30 bottles have “Feel Alive” on them.
[Comment ID #45399 Quote]
Did you read the comment I posted right above your original post?
[Comment ID #45399 Quote]
Got one too Lee. #145 Red Base.
[Comment ID #45400 Quote]
pmac – so the Encore Reserves are completely random? One might be included in place of a regular Encore then?
Wow, those really are special!
Here’s me holding thumbs that I may just get one… you never know, gotta have hope you know 🙂
[Comment ID #45404 Quote]
That is my understanding.
On one of my blue base F500’s Blair wrote his name in red……most I have seen are written in yellow
Guess that is not that special as the one on this site is in redI have one in red and one in yellow
They are still special MrFreeze 🙂
Just like you!
[Comment ID #45410 Quote]
Awwwww pmac, blair’s bottles may be special, but there are P L E N T Y of things in life that are much specialier 😉
I love when you talk cute to each other
[Comment ID #45410 Quote]
Thanks pmac……….
yeh I know, “specialier”, but I can make up a word if I want 🙄
I am getting all warm and fuzzy inside 🙂
…oh wait that is heartburn I just finnished chinese
[Comment ID #45414 Quote]
Im staying away from that one 😉
I saw where pmac went with the secret handshake 😯
Thats cuz you were in the room….for those that didn’t know, he has this fetish about watching. Sorry chrisk it cam out this way but you basically told tem so i HAD to explain 🙂
tem=them
Hello All, Jersey Is F-in Hot… Over 100 Today….Here are More Firecracker Facts—4 and only FOUR Firecrackers have a 24k Gold Skull…I do not where they are or if they have been shipped yet…They are 100% Random ….I have other facts about the bottle that will only be revealed on Halloween with a prize for the Winner (Though it is not a Contest) You will see….Sorry for being Criptic..Remember this is the last time I will use this bottle…..So I need to have extra fun with it…….FEEL ALIVE BLAIR

That was for the 4 of 500 part with the gold skulls 😀
Stay happy, I guess I will only know if I won when I get my FC’s 🙂
[Comment ID #45421 Quote]
P.S. Thanks for all the hard work Blair. Thank Karin too from us for innundating her with phone calls and e-mails 🙂
pmac I told I had a dream about the gold skull.
[Comment ID #45419 Quote]
chrisk did you really have to wear a rain coat when you watch.
Yeah, I remember that I also recall the #1 White top, and I am hearing it is true too 🙂
About the rain coat, … Whod a thunk they have their waterproof limits…I mean who would have known… 😯
Very cool. Wonder if there’s a white base/goldskull/quadruple layer/feel alive bottle? hahaha.
:)[Comment ID #45429 Quote]
Yeah and its on Blairs mantle
[Comment ID #45427 Quote]
Honestly Bret, those must have been some really good drugs pmac slipped into my hot sauce, cause I dont remember a thing 😉
sounds like its a good thing I dont remember
I think I’m the last person on earth that hasn’t gotten mine yet. LOL. that’s ok though….it’ll be fun when it gets here.
Sounds like there is ONE bottle out there that is different but not that obvious. If it was obvious then we would know who the winner was BEFORE Haloween. 🙂
[Comment ID #45422 Quote]
Two words chrisk…Family Blog.
’nuff said.
[Comment ID #45435 Quote]
I herd there were pictures
[Comment ID #45421 Quote]
To me, this seems like a great way to prevent a lot of people from selling their bottles. Can you imagine how mad you would be if you sold your firecracker right now for $200 bucks, and on Halloween the person who bought it won a fantastic Blair’s prize?!? Nice, I like where this is going! The Firecracker 500 has bigger twists and turns than a M. Night Shyamalan movie.
[Comment ID #45434 Quote]
could it have a gold skull ‘in’ it? The extract is so thick you wouldn’t notice unless you were looking for it I suppose – gold isn’t that reactive either
when’s halloween? 😀
This has turned out to be such a great set!! Who would have thought the “last bottle” would turn into a 5 bottle set? Special encore’s, 4 gold skulls…EXCELLENT!! Thanks Blair!!
[Comment ID #45442 Quote]
Looking in my bottle now. LOL
[Comment ID #45441 Quote]
OOps, I meant on this quote.
Blair is so funny!! Now not only are you excited to get your reserve in but you might be one of the lucky ones to get something way cool. Its funny, i get excited every time I see that wonderful brown truck.
Nice job Blair!!
[Comment ID #45439 Quote]
How could that be. You mean I was right when I said Blair puts a tracting device in his Bottles.
[Comment ID #45433 Quote]You might be right Ryan, cause I got mine today Red base #154 with “Feel Alive” on it. Very Cool….. Hope you get yours soon. By the way got the regular Encore.
Another Beyond Death on eBay now. $550 opening bid. I wonder if he had them or found a store with a case or something 🙂
That would be awesome if he found a store with them. What a score that would have been !!!
that would be an incredible find, even if he just gets $500 a piece, let alone the $810. I need a find like that one. some early 3am’s just hanging out on a shelf..lol
Too lazy to read this whole thread, so I don’t know if anyone has asked this…but…is it just me, or do the powders in the Encores different in color?
Ryan, you’re not the only one left, I’m still waiting too! Save the best for last maybe?
yes it has been mentioned, no confirmation as to why yet.
Because it is a special encore. 🙂
So special powder! 🙂
that works for me….now i just need to get one…lol
[Comment ID #45457 Quote]
What’s up ryan
Sigh…. 2 blues (triple digits), regular Encore, no special markings.
[Comment ID #45468 Quote]
Oh, cheer up Jim. It’s ok join the rest of us…….so far, but wait until Halloween you never know…………….
[Comment ID #45455 Quote]
Looks like the store is in Randolf NY. where he got em.
Randolph , Sorry. 🙂
[Comment ID #45460 Quote]
pmac I heard it was full of Fairy Dust that would be special. LOL If I get one I will open it and see what it is ok cool. Just call me the human guinea pig our test dummy for all of you chiliheads.
Good nite you little encore freaks.LOL Peace All
[Comment ID #45474 Quote]
Night Bret…. Just in the middle of writing you an email!
[Comment ID #45473 Quote]
Ohh fairy dust, ok now I really have to have one 😀
Bret, sorry if I missed you. My last comment was just before leaving the office. Been setting up a new computer since the hard drive on my last one is officially dead. lucky for me, I work with some people that were able to pull the files I wanted off the old drive even though the OS was gone…so I’ve been busy loading stuff so I get back to business.
oh crap…This computer used to belong to the Mrs…Changing the information now…
Ahhhhhh….that’s much better 😀
[Comment ID #45482 Quote]
[Comment ID #45484 Quote]
ryan or the mrs??? you trying to throw us off 😉
hey dude, you have mail…
[Comment ID #45486 Quote]
Naw, its me. Forgot to change the info on this computer before posting.
[Comment ID #45486 Quote]
Shouldn’t you be practicing for Saturday 😀
[Comment ID #45488 Quote]
A good plan always outweighs good practice 😉
[Comment ID #45520 Quote]
I guess your planning on not showing up 😀
Saturday should be interesting to say the least (congrats on the 2000 club BTW)
[Comment ID #45524 Quote]
And in this corner.
[Comment ID #45524 Quote]
Huv, I will be there. 😯
I must clear one thing up, I like hot, but I never said I was a fire-eater…The deathmatch was all Creator’s idea to try and break the huv-clan of its stronghold. The difference is he wants photos of “us” breaking, but there will be photos of us dominating.
[Comment ID #45532 Quote]
lol…huv is actually on my team 😉
the huv-clan is bigger than you think 🙄
[Comment ID #45533 Quote]
Hmmm, do I sense dissention in the ranks?
Seriously though Chris, I’d rather you sample the .5 before you sit at the Table of Misery. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it, no harm done. I don’t want anyone to hurt themselves, that’s all, this is supposed to be fun…Twisted, but fun. I think it would be funny as Hell to see Nick and Huv head to head again as a rematch. Oh, by the way, once the 5 minutes are up, the contest is not over…This will be explained on Saturday, just before the match. Hint, this is when the good pictures should come out for everyone with a camera.
As for the Huv-Clan, perhaps Mad will be there after all, Bwaaaa haa haa haa!
[Comment ID #45534 Quote]
Hmmmm “dissention” maybe, or maybe we are trying to throw everyone off. Im not really sure myself 🙂
I will certainly try the .5, and if I cant do it and “sit at the table of misery”, then I will admit it.
Nick, Huv, or super-girl can hold that title!
As for MAD, hmmm his production has been a bit slow, but we were blaming the extreme heat for that. We will see. 😉 but even at a slow pace, production cant stop 👿
Perhaps the Mad you have within the “Shackles of Servitude” is a simulacrum I crafted and recently put in place of the real Mad. Only the Shadow knows…..
Yes the huv-clan is bigger than you think, we may all have to show up to prove that we should not be taken lightly. As it is I may have to make the 10 1/2 hour trip just to let everyone know we will not be broken…………
Is there wagering. Like Win, Place ,Show were’s the $2.00 window.
[Comment ID #45539 Quote]
Now I like that idea, I am sure we could set something up.
Seperate thread for this convo? 😉
[Comment ID #45549 Quote]
Yeah, I caught that already…..Opps get it together……It is this time off of work not even sure what day it is…………
My three bottles are coming today! Can’t wait! 🙂

[Comment ID #45685 Quote]
how do you know that? I want to know too. I’m going away for the weekend – just hope they don’t arrive when I’m gone or I’ll be waiting to get home all weekend
Has anyone in the UK received them yet?
[Comment ID #45723 Quote]
No sign of any Firecrackers here yet Matt – not even been charged 🙁
Still holding out hope that thats a good thing though 🙂
[Comment ID #45727 Quote]
I’m hoping it’s a good thing too. I was charged about 3 weeks ago now though – not that I mind. I’ll just sit and wait with my fingers crossed
[Comment ID #45723 Quote]
I called Karin and got a tracking number for UPS. Went to UPS.com and looked it up. It’s “out for delivery” as we speak.
YES!!!!!!!!
Package just arrived. Red Base #239. Blue Base #220. Blue Base #215. AND……………
SPECIAL ENCORE #20!!!!!!! 🙂
Congrats Ryan!
I’m so very happy for you :green: 🙂
[Comment ID #45736 Quote]
Nice – Congrats
[Comment ID #45736 Quote]
Awesome d00d Ryan welcome to the club! With the amount of excitement you kept showing it is really nice to see you got a special Encore. That ALWAYS makes the wait worth every moment.
Ryan you should probably let me hold that encore for you, you might be too shakey still, here I’ll take good care of it untill you calm dow……..poof.
[Comment ID #45741 Quote]
You really are a nice guy pmac 😀
[Comment ID #45742 Quote]
Thanks! 😀
I always try my best to appease others 🙂
I think he is probaby sitting down on the sofa crying (wheaping) releasing all the pent up anxiety in one major flood of emotional extacy.
I can really say I am glad he got one, he has been so excited, and very verbal about how much he wanted a “special” bottle!! Good job Ryan.
[Comment ID #45743 Quote]
Way to go ryan
Congrats, I’m glad someone on here got one.
Now think to yourself, is it really that important? Because I’ll take it off your hands in no time. 🙂 Kidding.
Yeah it was cool. I’ve got a white base and regular Encore on the way, so my set is complete. Can’t wait to get the last two bottles!
*Side note: Can you imagine how much the ones with the gold skulls will sell for??
I checked my regular bottles for anything special I could find, and I didn’t see anything.
Lastly, wonder what the big secret for Halloween is?
[Comment ID #45762 Quote]
Just rub it in! lol Happy for you!
We gotta keep this active!! C’mon…..latest news?
my blair’s reserves have arrived – no-one was here tho so they’ve gone back to the UPS depot. Damn it – I’m gona have to try and get them tomorrow now 🙁
Oooo and customs decided to charge me again!!! £26
I got encore #6/30!!! Again, THANKS to Blair and all his team. My shelf of doom is gona look so good. All I need now is a normal encore – anyone have one they would wish to trade (as they aren’t for resale 😀 )
Congrats bro! They’re awesome looking, aren’t they??? 🙂
— Ryan
[Comment ID #46530 Quote]
Thanks. Yeah they’re really nice – Awesome in fact. They’re in my safe, hopefully to be shelved later today – I need to fetch a cabinet. My safe is full now so better get a cabinet soon 😀 They should be seen and appreciated!!
[Comment ID #46550 Quote]
Yes a cabinet is a nice idea for show. After all what would be the point in just letting them sit brooding in the dark.
Well its no number 6 but I now have #21 sitting in my office here at work. Now if only my FC500 order from Blairs would come. 🙂 I think I am the only one to not have received it yet? 🙂 Actually I think Jeeza said he haden’t rec’d it yet either.
🙂 Nice idea Nick on the intro page, you have a ton of feedback there. People have been comming out of the wood work due to that 🙂
Hey pmac, I’m with you on the waiting list, it just gets more exciting and suspenseful everyday. Once again though, all good things are worth waiting for!!!
[Comment ID #46601 Quote]
I spoke to Karin today. All the best boxes had not even left the shop as of yet, they were hoping to get the last of them out today. I was one of them sitting on the counter she said.
no wonder why it is still there haha okie I’m done!!!!
Absolutely no I’ll will it takes time patience and perseverence to do stuff like this. Give credit where credit is due, those folks are tops when it comes to all those qualities for sure. Mostly for putting up with my phone calls :)….
I think the list of shipping order goes something like this, … If you cal …back of the line with you, so I probably got back of the line 3 time a day in some cases
Thanks Blair and co-workers. I can’t wait!
Ohh shoot…I was kidding of course when I said the best boxes!.. Just so you all know it was random luck LOL wouldnt want anyone gettin bent out of shape LOL OKIE now I’m done
I was about to get bent out of shape. LOL!
when pmac comments it’s easy to get bent out of shape, I think he does it just to see how many shapes people will get, he does it for his own amusement 😛 hahahahahahahaha
just kidding pmac…….or maybe i am not 🙄
[Comment ID #46623 Quote]
Hey pmac…wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a direct-line into Blair’s 😉
[Comment ID #46708 Quote]
You know what! Maybe…I have to call them again today for an unrelated issue. So it might LOL
I like bendy!
The Blair’s hotline??????
I can just see pmac now with a big ass red phone with one big button on it.
[Comment ID #46719 Quote]
Step it up a bit, how about a “skull” phone instead 😉

[Comment ID #46729 Quote]
