Great Tasting but Small

I grew three of these plants from seeds purchased from Bohica. The seeds germinated quickly and the plants are doing great. They are prolific producers of fruit, but unfortunately the pods are fairly small, much smaller than I had anticipated. The pods I get are range from the the size of a dime to the size of a quarter. Due to the small size, I doubt that I will grow them again. Instead, I will stick with the Caribbean Red habaneros, which are much larger.
