I found a couple of places online that sell the whole, dried pods, and ordered some. There's a couple of dishes coming up where they'll be used.
The peppers have arrived, and at a great time. The meat for the dish I want to try them in is defrosting as I type. Eagerly waiting to give 'em a try.
They smell great ... nice and smokey, but not quite as intense as my recent chipotle purchase. These appear to be a good alternative to chipotles, appearing to be closer to the morita than the meco. From what I've read, they're not quite as hot as chipotles, so that could be a good thing for some people and for some recipes.
So, @blue_dolphin, thanks again for tip. These will be a great addition to my cooking.
