So I had a request for this one and I told you I would bust it out, so here is the Red Scorpanero#2.  I wasn't going to let myself get taken by surprise again by one of Joe's creations, so I prepared myself for this one.  It was pretty damn hot to say the least.  I was waiting for it to kick me in the teeth, and it was definitely up there.  

On taste.  Fruitier than most TS pods I have encountered.  Although it was fruity, it was more dull than BAM in your face.  It had a thick skin, and the flavor lingered, albeit subtly, throughout the whole experience.  

On heat.  This was a hot one.  I spoke a bit about how when you cross, you can expect a bit of dropoff based on the milder pepper you use, well this one had some pretty gnarly heat to it even though it was crossed with a Hab.  The heat took about 10 to 20 seconds before it hit, but then it built for another 3 minutes or so before it peaked.  It was a 100% mouth burn, with concentration on the tongue (both top and bottom) and lips.  No pain to the throat or stomach.  

In the end, it is a great producer and a great looking pod.  My plant has at least 30 pods hanging off of it, and they are all pretty uniform.  Also, c'mon, it is a dollar for seeds from Joe....can't beat that!
