I was thinking more of introducing the people who dream up these
competitions to the subtle differences between peppers (Scotch Bonnet,
perhaps?). I just dropped on chipotle because it is a smoked jalapeno with
a flavor that will leave people who haven't had them wondering what they
just ate. Do I think the chipotle was used in Aztec chocolate? No.

If a sweet pepper is desired, I would consider the pimento pepper, which
comes in several shapes and might be considered a long pepper. My opinion
is cayenne, which is a long skinny pepper probably comes closest to the
description.
The recipes I've seen say nothing about crushing the pepper. Using whole
peppers would reuce the bite.
