Wow that was awesome. These sevens definitely seem much hotter than Bhut Jolokia’s and Naga’s. I had intended to do a T. Scorpion Moruga Blend but when I cut it open, it was brown and not very appetizing. I don’t know what it is about these TS Moruga blends. This is the second time Jacob has kindly tried to send me one and both have suffer the same fate. Every other chile he sent came through perfect. So we lost the Scorpion… but Luckily Jacob sent me an amazing selection of chiles to try so to keep in tune with the theme of the day I selected one of the other SuperHot’s that he sent. An evil looking 7 Pot SR. This looks exactly like the BrainStrain’s I have seen here on THP. Never actually held a Brain in my hand but from the pictures they look very similar. Pods are awesome. Great shape, very bumpy and dense. They look like they are made of plastic and like I said in the video, they look like they would have a very long shelf life once picked. Pod size is a good medium-small. I was considering just doing the whole Scorpion because it was nice and small, when I switched to the 7 Pot it was quite a bit bigger and I lost that desire rather quickly.
As soon as I sliced the chile open I could smell it. Very fruity with a capsicum odor but not chemical smelling. Skin is medium thin just like the Chocolate Bhut. It chewed up nicely. Walls of the inside were very moist and shiny, lots of oil. Looking closely, a white placenta covers pretty much the entire inside surface of the skin plus it has the placenta seed cluster. Taste was very nice. I really liked it. Similar to the Primo but with out the chemical aftertaste. Quite fruity and fresh. I will try and update this after I try the Harold St. Bart’s and Devils tongue. Those are supposed to be very fruity and tasty and I will have a better reference point for what fruity and aromatic is once I try those. Heat hit almost immediately maybe 15 seconds or so. Blowtorch in the throat sparked up around 30-40 seconds. This was much hotter than the Chocolate Bhut and the Naga’s and I was uncomfortable for several minutes. Then again, it may just be because I am very unaccustomed to a throat burn. This had much lees roof of the mouth and tongue burn compared to the Naga’s. For me it is much easier to handle a mouth burn.
My stomach was ok with this chile. I had about two minutes where I could really feel it in my gut with a very warm burn. But considering how hot it was I am very surprised it did not cause more discomfort. For now this would be my second favorite chile behind the Chocolate Bhut. If it did not have the wicked throat burn, I think It would be my favorite. Thanks again Jacob!
Yeah, I would not eat a pepper if it is brown inside. Very nice review.
