The Bottom line:  Not the best flavor, but SMOKIN hot!.  This pod took me on the pain train and I knew it before I even bit into it.  I had a bad feeling it was gonna be nasty and I was right.   

On Heat. The pod took about a minute to build to a noticeable uncomfortable heat.  The heat was really attacking the throat, and I don't get much throat burn.  Not totally attacking my legs but it really hit the hands hard.  It wasn't the hottest pod out there, but it was DEFINITELY up there among the hottest.  What really PUSHED me into panic mode was a stupid piece of pod stuck in the back of my teeth.  I started to get so wrapped up in getting that out, and the heat was really hitting hard that it started to get into my OODA Loop.  

On Taste.  It had a fruity-ish flavor up front while chewing but then about 30 seconds in it was overshadowed with a pretty heavy capsacin flavor.  Pretty bitter.  It would limit it in applications in my opinion.  

On Vigor and Production. I am not growing this variety and I cannot attest to its overall production, but what I have seen it is a pretty decent producer.  

Heat: T1
Flavor: T4
Production: T2

Overall a hot pod that would be good in some powder.  I wouldn't venture outside of that lane in my use, but the pod was over a week old and that may have had something to do with it.
