Q: Dear Dave,
I have been looking for some smoked coban peppers from Guatemala. Do you know where I could purchase some? Do you know of a good substitute? Would Meco Brown chipotle pods be a good substitute?
Thanks,
Dave
A: Hello Dave:
To my knowledge, no one sells these. The chipotle would be a good substitute, but you can approximate the cobans by buying whole piquins and smoking them yourself.
