I've had it. Medium-hot, similar to Tapatio, Crystal & El Yucateco's, more heat than Tabasco, less
than any of "Dave's Insanity" sauces. Check out this link for scoville scale ratings.

As is the case with Steve's home in southern California, Cholula's is on a lot of tables...
...in mexican restaurants and taco shops here in Arizona. It is very popular, and has a distinct flavor profile that comes more from the spices they add than the chiles.
It's ok, but I'm not a big fan. I think it has too much cumin, but that's just me.
I prefer a locally made brand that makes it into most supermarkets here, and that I sometimes see in airports. It's called Arizona Gunslinger Smokin’ Hot Jalapeno Pepper Sauce . It has a vinegary flavor and lots of jalapeno taste. Good stuff.

I've had the Gunslinger Red and thought there was too much ancho in it. Never had the green.
As for a smokey hot sauce, I have been buying Louisiana Chipotle sauce at the 99 Only store. . .
I eat this stuff EVERY morning on these egg white, mini-corn tortilla, and sauteed greens tacos I make for breakfast. I am going through bottles of it. I feel this sauce is not too vinagary also.
Want the smoke and heat, but no vinegar/spices? Try Penzey's smoked paprika. This goes on my egg whites along with ground black pepper for some real zing and I swear it gives my egg white "pancake" a real meaty flavor that I love.
