Mr Naga - Junior (70g)
Mr Naga - Junior (70g)
Two 70g jars of Mr Naga. The right size for a first try, a gift, a lunchbox drawer, or a carry-on.
Small jars, same heat
Junior is Mr Naga in a 70g jar: same recipe, same ghost peppers, same slow-building smoke, just less of it. This pack has two.
It is the size to buy if you are testing the water before committing to a 190g jar, if you want one for home and one for the desk drawer at work, or if you are giving one to someone whose tolerance you genuinely are not sure about. Two jars, 140g total, $24.
Fair warning: most people who buy Junior come back for the Original.
