Many, many moons ago, JC *did* used to sell Chimayo powder.  On my trips
out to NM I'd pick up a bunch while there.  It started to get
notoriously hard to find (at least genuine) and the locals wouldn't let
it go.  When I started growing it myself, they then wanted ME to grow it
& send it out there.  Part of the early irony in the chile pepper biz
for me was that after going out there to find chile pepper sources to
bring back here, I was being used as a chile pepper source to take out
there :-)  Not quite what I was expecting ;-)

Since there seems to be some interest, I shall make (renew) some
contacts and see if I can't score some of the genuine stuff again.
