You are right, not much on them Dave.. but the picture (location below)
reminds me of Aji Yuquitania type peppers. Other research suggests you
may subsitute malagueta pepper
Substitutes: jalapeno (not as hot) OR tabasco.
(http://www.foodsubs.com/Chilefre.html)
Gernot Katzer's Spice Pages suggest a completely different plant.
Any who... this is what I could find on them..
Picture of them..

Describes them heat wise..

Still use the chopsticks you made.. they are great cooking/eating tools!
All the best
