You must build your tolerance. Eat a little bit every day increasing the amount a little over time.

Depends on which 7 pot.
Chocolate bhut x 7 pot burgundy might be really nice.

Yaki brown I think had a bhut like taste but more hab level heat.

If you cut them open, remove seed / placenta, and flush with water you can use many more in cooking before reaching tolerance. Most of the flavor is in the walls of the pepper. Most of the heat is in the placenta. Without some of the heat, it is amazing the flavors that come out.

Personally I never cared for the bhut flavor. Too perfume for me.

Good Bhuts taste far from perfumey.
Contrarily bhuts/nagas are the only chinenses i really like because i hate floral/perfume in foods.
Taste is really a subjective thing anyway...
To the OP, dry/grind pods and use powder sparingly until you build tolerance.

I only got the perfume, well it felt like sucking some kind of soap, from a yellow habanero. They really got nice and completely ripe, so I tried one. Not the best soap, but potent.
