With 2015 on the horizon, thanks to the mischievous ambitions of growers/horticulturists who have managed to harness capsaicin's potential, the Bhut Jolokia has been surpassed by a veritable army of "designer" superhots. Obviously we know about the Carolina Reaper, but most of those aren't test-grade heat (the 2.2 million record heat). Some believe the Reapers in circulation to be on par with other varieties in the neighborhood of 1.5 mill SHU. Still blistering, but no match for the (yet untested) now widely feared cultivars like the Chocolate Brain Strain, and the Chocolate Bhutlah. The handful of chileheads daring enough to try these (whole) generally agree they're unofficially the hottest on the planet. But as everyone knows, they're unstable yet (I believe the Chocolate Bhutlah is only F2).
I only mention all of this for context leading into Bill Moore's ( Bill Moore's Hot & Spicy Reviews channel on Youtube) video review of Judy's (PepperLover) ostensibly hush-hush "Black Lava" 7 Pot project. I ran a search here and couldn't find anything, so I thought it worth posting. I may be reading too much into this, and it's possible Bill just had an "off day" with his tolerance, but gauging the reaction by the normally stoic Bill, is Judy's top secret Black Lava rivaling the Chocolate Bhutlah and Brain Strain for the hottest pepper crown? Either way, really looking forward to when she goes public with these.
