if you are going to play with them, wear rubber gloves. find a friend (mine are from the indian sub continent) who eat peppers that are insanely hot. have them check to see if they are the real thing. there are natives from africa that also eat pepper that are this hot.
i would question that your peppers are in fact bhuts. bhuts are very expensive. seeds are very expensive. i have paid $5 for 10 genuine seeds. if you grow them with other peppers, be careful. peppers will cross hyberdize, with the hottest pepper usually the dominate. sweet green jalopenas can come out seriously nasty.
if you would, pm me if you will send me some of the seeds out of your pack. it't probably too late to start them this year, but will try, and will try again next year. the seeds do not start for 30-45-60 days. i have some i started back on the first of feb, and they are just starting to emerge.
