If you want something really hot, look for habanero (with a ~
above the n) peppers or Scotch bonnet peppers; until recently,
the hottest peppers known, and the newer ones are still hard
to find.

I've read that they're often sold in stores specializing in
Mexican foods, but sometimes only to people who ask for them
in Spanish.
