Not hardly of the "moderate persuasion" if you're into Datil chilies, 
Sandy. From the archives:

"A native pepper from St. Augustine, Florida, the pepper is thought to 
have been brought there around 1776 when the surviving Minorcans fled 
to that city to escape the abuses at Turnbull's plantation. The pepper 
can rate as high as 300,000 Scoville Units, almost as hot as the 
Habanero."
