Ancho means wide.
The bulk ancho powder I buy at the store is never hot but it is always made from ripe red poblano peppers dried.
I like them dried like leather and eat them like beef jerky. 
You aint lived till you have taken a bag of ancho peppers to bed and read a good book.  |
Clarification
I also smoke the red jalapenos to make CHIPOTLES and smoke /dry Poblanos to make Anchos
