Situation: A few years ago, my sister brought me back a big bag of chile
powder from Santa Fe, NM called The Chile Shop's Medium Dixon Hot Chile
Powder. I loved the stuff. It was hotter than the chile powder you found
at the supermarkets but not that hot. Perfect heat (when I wasn't that
much of a C-H). I ran out a few months ago (I kept the bag in the
freezer and it remained flavorful and great) and ordered the catalog
from The Chile Shop. They wanted a lot of money for another bag of it.
Thought it was just a bit much. So, I went about trying to re-create it.
With no luck.

What kinds of chiles do you think they used in this mixture? Not too
hot. Just mildly hot. Anaheims? What?

Any opinions would be accepted and appreciated. I would love to
re-create it and be able to make it over and over again without having
to spend a fortune. Thanks in advance.
